Had a look and cleaned them out, one switch and cable are completely new. Tried swapping them all around and cleaning, no good.
Also tried jumping into ESXi and forcing the duplex and speed to see if it would come up, no good there either.

So my Brocade ICX 6610 48P showed up the other day. Bought from ses_global_electronics on Ebay. They left the asset tag on it and it was looks like it came out of a Hospital/Clinic in San Diego. One of the mounting ears are bent but I had already picked up some rails for it since some reported this switch was a bit on the heavy side. Came with two delta power supplies Rev. A. Also came with 1 Brocade 10ge SR transceiver.
I was kind of shocked at how quite this is with Rev. A since some reported it was louder then the other rev. This will be replacing my current Dell PowerConnect 6248 which seems way louder then the ICX 6610 but we will see once its loaded up.
Booted up and configured without any issues thanks to Fohdessha guide. all front SFP+ ports are showing up as 10gb.
Picked up a NetApp 112-00177 sas cable for a direct 40gb connect to my unraid box.
Now I just need to work on getting 10gb spf+ cards to fill out the rest of my servers and my personal computer.
Getting closer to finally being able to upgrade my ISP to 2gb.

OIn my 6610 it doesn't see 2 of the ports anymore of the 4 ports on the breakout cables. I've changed cables and even swapped DAC and Active FC breakouts, same 2 ports don't come up. Mind you, those ports had worked for a bit and then went down after a few days to never come back up again. Still haven't figured it out, even reboots don't change it.
Would you mind posting or PMing me the basic config you're running on VyOS? I'm working on getting it setup myself and would love to have something to reference.
This is a good general guideline for basic VyOS configuration, and covers zone based firewall (but it lacks IPv6 which can be done following similar steps)

Is this accurate for a PoE model? Won an auction for a ICX7250-24P. Switch came as described (says ICX7250-24P on the front), but show version says otherwise and I can't find any references to PoE in the show tech-support output. Also running show inline power returns nothing.

According to our resident expert, it should work fine for homelab/prod loads.
New around here, just got a 6610, what cable i need to connect to the console of this thing? Regular USB to RJ45 serial? or special cable?
Something like this?
USB-c to work with mac without adapter
Something like this?

Hi,
I just got a 6450-24p to replace an old netgear. I buy a RJ45-USB serial cable (Prolific PL2303GT) and try to apply Fohdeesha HowTo, but I was not able to get a prompt using Putty. The serial cable is mapped on COM1 and soon after I the power plug in the swith, I hit "b", but nothing happen at all.
I can confirm the switch boot as after a short time, the RJ45 port connected to a laptop start blinking.
Did I miss something or did I have the wrong serial cable ?

Do you have the right serial settings? If there’s no text output then you have:
- a bad serial cable
- a bad console port
- wrong port settings
I suppose a brand new serial adapter could also be bad.

There were a large number of counterfeit PL2303 chips that were manufactured over the last several years, and Prolific's drivers for Win10 detect and basically don't allow communication through those counterfeit chips. I specifically went with FTDI chip USB to Serial adapters for that reason. I'm using one of those right now with a standard Cisco DB9 to RJ45 serial cable, and have had no issues talking to my 6450-24P. In fact already have it fully flashed up per @fohdeesha 's the wonderful step-by-step guide.
I have the same settings as the one in the HowTo (9600 8N1).
I got the cable from Amazon by searching "Brocade serial cable". The model I got is referenced Prolific PL2303GT under Windows devices. It is this one : PL2303GT USB to RS232 Serial Bridge Controller (Built in RS232 XCVR) | Prolific USA | IC Design & Manufacturing .
For the console port, I use the one with this symbol : |[]-[]| .

I have a 6450-24p and 7150-c12p that I would like to stack. Firstly, does fastiron support linear stacking (aka chain stacking)? With the limitations of my system and only two switches I really don't need a ring and redundancy is impossible. Second, can the uplink ports on the 7150-c12 be used for stacking? If so, what are the cli commands?
Ultimately I'd like to do a linear stack using one 10g SFP+ connection, but for now I'd like to just get it up and running in a linear stack if possible with a gigabit port.
Thanks guys,
craigr
