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 I'm using for the other end of a test link and that's working just fine as far as recognizing the transceivers in any of it's SFP+ ports. I have new appropriate Cat8 and mono-mode fiber to test with.
Although these are used switches off Ebay they seem otherwise fully functional to me. Brocade ICX switches are new to me but following the instructions of
has been very helpful and instructive so far.
Do I have to enable the F-ports somewhere on the 6450-C12 somewhere? If you want command output just tell me what to run. I have serial port, ssh, and web interface access enabled.
