    Brocade 8Gb 8G SW transceivers for Ethernet?

    This is probably a stupid question, but: I happen to have some 8G FC Brocade SFP+ transceivers - 57-1000117-01 that are for Fibre Channel I presume. Stupid question: Is it possible to use these in Brocade Ethernet switch 10G capable SFP+ ports (e.g. ICX6450) for an 8Gbps Ethernet Link? To...

    Brocade ICX-6450--C12-PD Cant get the SFP+ ports to work

    I have another ICX6450-48 supposed to land in the next few days, so I can experiment with that at 10G. I also have some Actual Brocade 10GBASE-SR Transceivers (57-0000075-01) & appropriate LC Blue fibers to test with. So hopefully it'll be a bit moot.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    The site looks mostly like what I was looking for. Unfortunately I'm not a big Windows user, so the Config tool isn't much use to me. (I don't even maintain a Windows VM.) Videos are not my favorite medium to learn from, but I'll give those a look too. Thank You!

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Is there anything like a 6450 basic admin guide for dummies out there? I'm not trying to do much beyond L2 stuff at the moment. Especially looking for guidance in setting up SFP and SFP+ modules and bonding ports with LACP.

    Brocade ICX-6450--C12-PD Cant get the SFP+ ports to work

    Yes, C12 has the two SFP+ ports. It is licensed for 10G. I have tried with the 1G transceiver it came with and a 10G transceiver both of which work in the 24P. Neither was recognized. it’s like the “F” ports are turned off.

    Brocade ICX-6450--C12-PD Cant get the SFP+ ports to work

    The "F1" and "F2" ports will take an SFP+ transceivers, and in fact the unit came with two 1GBASE-LR transceivers. Judging by the temp of a 10GBase-T transceiver they are receiving power, however neither of the transceivers seem to be recognized by the switch. I have another ICX-6450-24P that...
