I've run single and dual 6610 POE's with dual rev a and dual rev b on cyberpower CP1500AVR 's (they are cheap)...
I have the non-poe version of 6610 with Rev A. It is running fine with an APC BX1500M, which is not sine wave. Am I doing something bad to the switch or the UPS?
FWIW, the best option for that type of setup (e.g., VyOS, pfsense) is DHCP option 121. You can either explicitly add a route to one different VLAN subnet via your router (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 via the ve on your Brocade) or to an entire range, depending on the address ranges you’re using (e.g., 192.168.0.0/16 via the ICX).According to the guide, no:
DHCP Server — VyOS 1.4.x (sagitta) documentation
docs.vyos.io
It's a good question, as I'll run into the same issue when I setup my DMZ in the future.
I'm trying to figure this out, could you give more information/details/steps to DHCP option 121? I'm trying to find more information about it.
The gist of it can be found here (searching for ‘dhcp option 121‘ or ‘classless static route’ should provide some good add’l detail).
Why? Classic switch mode power supplies just rectify to DC as the first step anyway, so the sine wave being perfect shouldn't matter. Generally they'll run fine even with DC input. With active PFC, maybe not though -- I'm less familiar with that topology.
Interesting. I've got that same UPS and I was planning to throw my 6610 on it. Mine's the PoE version though, so we'll see if that makes a difference. I've got both a rev A and a rev B power supply I can test with.
Stack 'em using two other ports. If memory serves me, you'll have to use two (or more) ports at the front, you can't use two of the 40G breakout.
Why not? All you should need to have are:
Because its configuration GUI won't let you configure DHCP scopes outside the networks that the firewall manages.
Oh my god. Never saw this on pf et al because I run DHCP elsewhere - I've always built multi-VLAN with all DHCP on a single box (or HA pair) and helpers on the switches.
you can stack them using one breakout port and one 40gbE port, that way the stack connection is still redundant, but you still have two 40gbE ports and two breakout ports available. In fact, this is exactly my setup at home:
stack unit 1
module 1 icx6610-48p-poe-port-management-module
module 2 icx6610-qsfp-10-port-160g-module
module 3 icx6610-8-port-10g-dual-mode-module
no legacy-inline-power
priority 128
stack-trunk 1/2/1 to 1/2/2
stack-port 1/2/1
stack unit 2
module 1 icx6610-48p-poe-port-management-module
module 2 icx6610-qsfp-10-port-160g-module
module 3 icx6610-8-port-10g-dual-mode-module
no legacy-inline-power
stack-trunk 2/2/1 to 2/2/2
stack-port 2/2/1Are you referring to a linear ring topology with partial cabling per the Stacking Configuration Guide? Fig 13 on pg 56.
It's not a ring topology, it's the first 40gbe port and first breakout port in a bond/trunk.

Probing the topology. Please wait ...
1: 1/2/1 (T0) <---> 2/2/1 (T0)
2: 1/2/2 (T0) <---> 2/2/2 (T0)
3: 1/2/3 (T0) <---> 2/2/3 (T0)
4: 1/2/4 (T0) <---> 2/2/4 (T0)
5: 1/2/5 (T0) <---> 2/2/5 (T0)
CPU to CPU packets are fine between 2 units.I agree, it's embarrassing to the point of disbelief, given dhcp for multiple scopes is a spec older than I am. There's a big github request years old for it on pfsense, I even offered the devs to pay. No response. As we found out recently, they were probably too busy paying sketchball felons to write horrifically insecure freebsd code. They nuked the issue ages ago but there's a 5 year old ticket filed with opnsense as well, offered money there too, no result again Feature: DHCP server able to handle non-interface configured subnets · Issue #1105 · opnsense/plugins
Haha. I would never doubt you!
The documentation states that
stack-port "selects only one of the two stacking ports as a stacking port, which allows you to use the other port as a data port." So I thought stack-trunk 1/2/1 to 1/2/2 means the stack consists of the 40G and breakout 40G port and stack-port 1/2/1 means use the 40G as the stacking port. Then on stack unit 2, if I want to use the breakout 40G, I would reference 2/2/2 using stack-port. Basically connect between stack unit 1, port XL1 (1/2/1) and stack unit 2, port XL2-5 (1/2/2).
