I can confirm the 6610 does not work with 4096 bit ssh keys, at least on the 8030t firmware from @fohdeesha 's guide. The switch will accept a 4096 bit key without complaining but trying to connect ends with the blob error 60 you are seeing. If you create a new 2048 RSA key it will work fine.

really thanks @fohdeesha again , have icx6450-24 run smoothly two years and icx7250-24p(sold after used 3 months due to noise) ,now buy a new openbox icx7250-24 (low noise but idle power consume about 50w) to replace icx6450.
btw , icx 7250 run at 79-80 C on idle(room is 30C), fan speed1 , is this normal ? or need add fan to asic ？

Has anyone seen this "Access Networks ANX 7150" line of switches that are, what appears to be, a complete knock off of the ICX 7150 line??? I came across one on eBay while browsing and am curious if these things are real and anyone has any experience with them?

eBay listing for a "ANX 7150-48P"

Is there a recommendation for a UPS unit on the cheap that will support the ICX 6610 48P with POE and all for just long enough to at least get through quick power blips?
Their APs look like exact reproductions of the Ruckus APs as well. Those switches definitely look like repackaged 7150/7250 units.
I have a friend that got a quote to upgrade his old ZF7372 ruckus network in his dental office to "Access Networks".
It was a big $$ number and it wasn't clear what model they were putting in.
Instead we acquired a number of R710s, and upgraded everything ourselves.
I think that’s ok. My 7250-24 runs at the same temp. I’ve got. 7250-48p too and the fan profiles are different between the 2. The 24 doesn’t kick up to high speed until much toastier than the 48p.
First (well 2nd to be precise) post on this thread. Been lurking for a while.
Big thank you to fohdeesha and everyone one else for all the knowledge sharing going on here.
I recently purchased a 7250-48p and a 7250-24. Scored both as brand new units in the UK, two eBay sellers very amenable on offers
Have them stacked and on my way to using them for routing (dhcp sorted).

thanks,now thinking put it on a laptop cooler and power the laptop cooler through 7250 USB port, will this useful?
They're just Ruckus models with a new paintjob/branding so they as an integrator (Residential Systems) have a more "integrated" looking product line for their customers (matching APs, switches, cable boxes, etc). identical hardware and software underneath. That said I really want one of them there charcoal ICX7150-C12's
Check Craigslist for a "line interactive" APC Smart UPS. You don't need a "double conversion" UPS. You should be able to score a 1500VA unit cheap if you're in patient and located in a decent sized metro area.
I have a ten year old line interactive APC 1500VA Smart UPS that ran a high end gaming PC, one 7150-48P, three 6450-48P, a router, a cable modem, and a Ruckus AP through a few recent power blips without a hitch. The 7150 had light POE use. The 6540's had no POE use.
Units under 1500VA aren't worth the time, space, cost, etc, IMHO.
I have a 6450-24P that ran for about ten minutes. I followed fohdeesha's excellent setup guide. After one of the reload commands, the switch never came back up. I unplugged it for a while then plugged it back in. No fan spinup. Nothing on the serial console.
There weren't any anomalies while running through the setup guide. No super old firmware. No missing L3 firmware. No errors of any kind.
I haven't had time to crack the unit open to check basics like PSU outputs, etc.
Opinions on whether this switch might come to life again? I'm not above JTAG shenanigans if that's what it takes.

To stack or not to stack.... I currently have 2 icx 6610, why i should configure them as stack vs not configuring anything after plugin media between the 2

So all the talk about stacking had me thinking as well.
Stacking allows you to control all switches (in same series - 6450 & 7250 wont stack) from one IP.
Is the stacking the same as lag?
I have:
6450 - 30gig lag
to
7250 - 30 gig lag
to
6450 - 30 gig lag
This uses 6 sfp+ ports on the 7250 in the middle. To configure I am sshing to various IP's to make changes. It seems like it would be easier to have the stacking - again assuming I get two more 7250's or make the current 1 7250 into 2 more 6540's.
Assuming all the same model switches - is there a benefit or risk to stacking? Does stacking 3 ports = 30 gig connection lag automatically?
If the main switch goes down or needs to be swapped out, can the other two switches send the configuration to the 'replaced' master switch?
I really didnt look into stacking as I figured stand alone units are better/safer but maybe that is ignorant of me.

Using windows <-> icx6610 via a flashed HP card, FS qsfp optics and a new FS cable, are there any other configs that I'm missing to get this working. I'm seeing tons of input errors on the switch side.

I don't use my 40Gb ports, so I don't know that this will fix your problem, but I have stack disable configured on my 6610:
Code:
!
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
stack disable
!Stacking and a simple LAG trunk are two very different things. Also, be aware that in a LAG while you'd have 30Gb of aggregate bandwidth, you'll see single stream speeds no faster than 10Gb. I am unsure how bandwidth works over stacking, having never deployed it; I suspect it's a LAG underneath along with extra settings for the various coordination required for stacking and failover.
For ICX 7k series, the default is hitless stacking; and whichever unit has highest stack priority is the master; upon failure, next highest takes over; see Traditional stack unit priority (ruckuswireless.com)
If the fans don't even spin up then I can almost guarantee it's the power supply that died - you can completely "brick" and wipe the flash on these switches and the fans will still have power applied to them when the switch is plugged in
you can try a different 40gb port on the 6610, but that points to a media error, as in bad optic on either side, or a bad cable/connection/dirty fiber ends. how long is the fiber?
