It looks like the sale is over, and this returned to regular price at $158 with shipping. FWIW, when the sale was ongoing they accepted my $75 (excluding shipping) offer. May be worth giving that a shot still.

For sure drafting off all the great work @fohdeesha did on this. I currently rock an ICX6450, and was hoping to upgrade to this ICX6610. The noise is not too bad for keeping it in a dedicated space, but it idles at around 115W with nothing plugged in :oops: Haven't had a chance to configure it, but I doubt anything can be done config-side to reduce that power consumption.

Does anyone know if this is a POE or POE+ switch? I've found both yes and no via google and the listing makes no mention of POE.

$130 now with local pickup and no mention of shipping. This listing had a bunch of changes no doubt related to The STH Effect™.:p

has anyone attempted to use the cheap $5 intel 100Gb transcievers in this switch? the optics seem to support 40Gb..

Seen many try various 100gig transcievers in them but not seen anybody have success.
Not too suprising i suppose since its qsfp28 in qsfp and compatability tends to work the other way.

Works on mine. Interestingly the datasheet (pretty bad for Intel) only states it supports 100G datarates.

Code:

Interesting.

I just tested and they work for links between two SX6036 (which I didn't test back then..)

What doesn't work is using them for a 40G link between a switch (SX6036) and a Mellanox ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-5 (tested both), which is what I tested back then.
I can't get them to link (even though the same pair of transceivers + cable worked a minute before for linking two SX6036), I believe this is due to the transceiver programming...

I had the same problem with 40GBase-SR4 / 56GBit transceivers yesterday. They worked fine between two switches, but absolutely refused to link between switch + ConnectX-4 / ConnectX-5.
Tried another pair then... Which worked in opposite to the first one.

Turns out: Second pair is Mellanox coded (OUI is 00:02:c9) although they're Finisar labeled, first pair is Finisar coded (OUI 00:90:65). I reprogrammed the first pair to Mellanox OUI and low and behold: Suddenly they began to link fine!

So, beware: Newer Mellanox cards (ConnectX-4 / ConnectX-5 and upwards) seem to have a vendor lock for (certain) 40GBit transceivers implemented.

Sadly, the Intel transceivers are locked, means I can't reprogram them. Usually you can just brute force a password (see my thread https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/transceiver-password-collection.39458/ for some), but the Intel transceivers only do about 100 passwords per second (usually transceivers do 3000), so it would take ages (more than one year in worst case) to brute force the password.
If anyone has the password for those transceivers, please let me know!

I answered tonight already but did not click <Post reply>. So I did when I reopened the page. Then I liked your post when I scrolled down. I'm not deleting my post because I got banned two times here for deleting a post. But if this bothers you, then please write a mod to delete my post. Jeeeez ... people. Nobody is perfect.
