I wanted to strap my 6450 to the wall to and your posts gave me a great idea. I always keep rack mount ears when I decommission hardware and it turned out that a pair from an old Netgear switch fit. If you have some old ears and want to wall mount one of these check your junk pile.
Thanks for the link. I figure the chances are low, but I'd like to check and see if either unit is possibly unlocked. I'm hoping the cheapy might have overlooked the write protection.
Knowing the command is simple enough through a search within this thread. @fohdeesha's post at https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...erful-10gbe-40gbe-switching.21107/post-198322 outlines how to use the read command. In the next post he shows how to modify QSFP+es. The problem you will have is you need to get the I2C id/address of the transceiver but I don't know what that means nor how to obtain it. Maybe changing things is different for SFP+es because his write example allows him to write multiple bytes per command.
Thanks again. I'm only on page 28 of this thread and that was 14 pages ago so I had forgotten

I don't know how representative I am, but I just purchased 6450s to replace a failing LB4m; I didn't see anything significantly better available, certainly not at the price. I have a pair for myself (one live, one spare) and I'll just keep the configs synced.
Look at the 7*** series fodeesha has listed for the latest firmware updates. The 7150 and 7250 are good, but slightly more expensive, alternative options to the 6*** series. Can be had from 12-48 ports, 10g and even multigig on some models.I'm going to ask a sacrilegious question, given the topic of this thread
When this thread was born, most of these switches had over 3 years before hitting End of Life/End of Support. At this point, it seems most of the switches mentioned have hit EOL/EOS.
I'm about to start at the beginning, and plan to build my home network on a 48 port POE switch. My question is simple, are there new switches in town with similar feature sets and used pricing that still have a few years of life in them, or are the icx switches still the target of choice?
Are most of you comfortable just continuing to run the 64xx series without additional firmware/security updates, or are you planning to migrate soon? Any suggestions on these points/other switch options to consider are appreciated. Budget is a major constraint for me, and I'm trying to stay in the $100 to $200 range for a switch.
And thanks in advance to the 276 pages worth of the shoulders of giants that I'm standing on to be able to make this post. There is an incredible amount of good information in this thread!
I know Ebay prices fluctuate quite a bit so deals may still be had but I rarely see the equivalent 7x series go for less than double a 6x. The 6450 is still in the $100 or even sub $100 range for non-POE models and is a great switch. Certainly the 7250 has additional features like 40gb for stacking and so on but for a lot of home lab or even small office setups the 6450 is a fantastic value.
Yup, was just answering in case they needed/wanted something in the latest ruckus firmware.
Yeah, but they deprecated several APs recently with that exact version that allows you to add them to the Unleashed controller.
I nevet ansible to work with my 7150
I'm a big ansible user / fan, I would love it if you had a github repo to share to configure / update the brocade icx-6450 / icx-7750.
