Yes I followed your instructions carefully and it had worked perfectly before this "hibernation". I also ran the fpod commands you suggested in a previous post of this thread. But I didn't run a dpod command (I suppose you were actually referring to "fpod"?)
Normally it does come up slowly after some time off but usually in minutes but not hours. And this time is like half a day and they are still not up so I wonder what's going on.
Thanks!

So I started to pick up pieces to do a fan mod on the 6610, but seeing the mod above for the 6450 got me thinking of doing something similar, but with actually removing the internal fans and using the signal generator to fake them. I luckily have a rear-to-front cooling model so this should be pretty easy to do with the right fans (i.e. high pressure since they will be channeling the air into a tighter space).
So a quick update. In case anyone has the same issue though its not really a solution.
I decided to try pfSense and port forwarding just works. I'm not sure what was causing it not work. I may try a fresh install ofOPNsense later this week to see if I see any changes. Though I may just stick with pfSense as it seems to work and I have been pulling my hair out for long enough lol.
Glad it's working for you in pfSense. Port Forwarding works fine for me with OPNSense with the type of setup you have. Must have been a config somewhere.
Long shot but I don't suppose anyone has a 7250-24 PoE board that they'd be willing part with?
Finally managed to pick a 7250 up off ebay after waiting 9 months for one to come up with a non-daft price (they're very rare here in the UK it seems) and it's got a blown PD69208 chip on the PoE board

.So, the switch can order pizza through the 10g ports. It won't do it without a license. Hidden feature.
Any recommendations for a 10G base RJ45 SFP for the 6450? I'm currently using a Ubiquity UF-RJ45-10G, but while it starts with 10G on a file copy, soon the speed drops to around 1GB and then even below that and causing connection issues.. only removing it from the switch and then putting it back in it will go back to 10G momentarily.. tried it with multiple cables - same result - 1G connections with the same cables are stable
(test is with server (2x 10G SFP Direct) --> 6450 --> UF-RJ45-10G --> UTP cable (10M) --> Cisco 3064T --> 10G base T)

Hi,
i‘m using this one from fs.com with an 6450, no issues so far.
SFP+ Transceiver Modul - Brocade 10G-SFPP-T kompatibel 10GBASE-T SFP+ Kupfer RJ-45 30m
Are you really using an utp cable for the connection? Maybe you should give a good shielded cable a try.

So, I recently picked up an ICX 7150-C12P that has a dead power supply. If I supply 54V from an external source, the switch boots up and runs normally. However, the power supply appears to be completely dead, with no obviously bad components. Now I just need to procure a replacement power supply. I found a pair of broken ICX6450-C12-PD which appear to be the previous-generation switch (which apparently power on but do not boot), does anyone have one of these and can pop the top off to confirm the model of the power supply? The PSU in my ICX 7150-C12P is a 54V, 2.78A unit from Shenzhen Gospell Digital Technology, part number G0966A-540-0278 (printed on a sticker wrapped around one of the capacitors).
The Gospell is a POS.
Read here ICX7150 for repair?
A few posts down from the top of the STH link is a good psu suggested by @fohdeesha .

I used these PSUs to fix 2: SL Power LB130S56K 56V 2.32 130W Power Supply 689192481516 | eBay
He raised the price; I BO'd 2 @ 45 each earlier this year and that was higher than earlier buyers had paid.

I suppose I can give one of those a shot. Seller is now auto-rejecting offers less than $55 or so. That's a real asshole move, ebay doesn't tell you what the lower cutoff is, but still counts it as an attempted offer, even though it was never sent to the seller.
I've recently received an ICX 7150-C12P and I have a question about the port status LEDs. This document suggests that the right port status LED should indicate PoE:
docs.ruckuswireless.com
PoE works fine on all ports, however only the left port activity LED lights up for me even when PoE is in use. Please could someone with this switch indicate what the reality is, the document mentions that it is disabled currently on the ICX 7150-24P but nothing about it also being disabled on the ICX 7150-C12P.
Bizarrely when I first got the switch it came with SPS08080d firmware and the left port activity LED would be orange when gigabit and PoE was in use and green just for gigabit only. I checked the CLI and it was connected at gigabit. Now I've gone for SPR08080e firmware the left port activity LED is now green whether PoE is in use or not.

I'm running 8090 on my c12 and only the left light is on. Green regardless of poe or not.I've recently received an ICX 7150-C12P and I have a question about the port status LEDs. This document suggests that the right port status LED should indicate PoE:

Merry Christmas everyone!
So I followed the instructions to disable it long ago but my 7250-48P is still trying to phone home to the swregistrar.brocade.com very often. I have it blocked in my pihole but I'd surely like to make it stop. Is there a tried and true way to make it stop for good? Thanks!

post the output of "show run" and "show sz status" and "show sz logs"
Recently got a 7450-48P that I am trying to setup now.
I was under the impression that the (only two, I know) rear 40G ports could be used either as stack/data port or broken out to 4x10g.
I was hoping to use one as uplink and break out the other, but I am unable to identify the required commands to configure the port;
the manual's not showing anything, web only showd something for the 7750 (breakout ethernet) which is not available on the 7450.
I saw earlier discussions re active vs passive dac, and potentially only one channel working but, didnt see the test results.
I am using a passive/dac 4:1 split that used to work in my MLX switch
