Challenge accepted!I'll probably regret making this statement but they can't be much louder than the the Brocade FC switches I've got.

The switch' ports has these MACs before configuring the default VLAN: MACs and after they just get that address
Extra "info" i found is at the Boot Log "Unable to open /fast_iron/ka_link_reg.txt"
I already done it twice
Maybe I should ask the seller what he means under the "Taken from a working environment tested and is in excellent working order"My 6610 shows the Unable to open /fast_iron/ka_link_reg.txt on boot as well, but no issues with MAC addresses, so I think that's a red herring.
What's in your running-config? Perhaps a previously issued subcommand in the hidden dm command is causing your MAC address issues.
I don't have too much in conf. I didn't run any dm commands, and I did "factory set-default" a couple of times now. Those commands results can be persistent somewhere (like the previous owner used them and now it "haunts" me
) ?
Can you post the output of show version and show chassisI don't have too much in conf. I didn't run any dm commands, and I did "factory set-default" a couple of times now. Those commands results can be persistent somewhere (like the previous owner used them and now it "haunts" me
Well that would be why it's replying with a nonsensical MAC, that's what it's been set to on that chassis:
Code:
Boot Prom MAC : 0192.0000.0000
Management MAC: 0192.0000.0000Get into the bootloader of your switch over serial, then you can set the base MAC to whatever you generated above, (or the MAC on the sticker), just make sure it's in the following format:
Code:
set ether-address EEF6.FE8C.D074
Code:
Monitor>set ether-address EEF6.FE8C.D074
base-eth-address=eef6.fe8c.d074
made the mistake of gathering all the units I could find while organizing the basement (not including switches out on loan or units in use). I may have a problem
"a problem" ?? I think what you're looking for is...a therapist?

It's for "building his resume"... I can see how he gathered so much experience! If you are married you have a very forgiving wife lol.

I have a second 6450-48P with a dead POE board (scorched POE chip with a hole in it haha). I pulled the POE board out, and was going to use it as a non-POE swtich, however having done that, the fans are now running full speed all the time, and never spin down.
If I reinstall the POE board, the fans go back to normal, and spin down after boot. Does anyone know if there is any way to work around this? The switch is still spitting out POE power on about half its ports, and the switch OS has no control over it, so I'd rather not have it installed if I can avoid it.

I'll take the EX4300 if you don't want it. I could use another switch that can run Perl and Tcl/Tk.

Or I guess I could teach you how to really root it if you want. It's far easier than any of the Brocade crap.
If anyone has a working PoE module for a 6450-24 that they can part ways with, I could really use one.
sure, $450 and it's yours. Also, thanks for the offer, but I don't think I need to be taught how to run "su -" lmao
That's not rooting them. Not even remotely. I'm talking actual control, the secure areas, unsupported OSes, etc.
That's full root, with full access to *bsd and the filesystem below, all partitions. I've booted IBM G8124 firmware on the EX series in the past lmao. If you want it even more directly, just stop it in u-boot and tell it to boot into single usermode to /bin/sh. It's just u-boot + freebsd, it's not rocket science lol
I did absolutely nothing... all credit goes to @fohdeeshaI found it, set it and it's working now! Thanks!
And thank you @infoMatt for helping me to find what can be the problem!
But I'm glad that you've managed to solve the issue!
added some hidden u-boot dev mode commands for more switch models, think I have them all now except for the new ICX7550 Hidden Dev Stuff - Fohdeesha Docs
