I think you replied/answered to too many simple questions and folks got spoiled ._.I'll be disappearing from this thread in a month or two so you all need to get accustomed to reading documentation![]()
Yes. Define VEs on the VLANs that you want to be routed inside the switch, and let the others be defined as pure layer2, w/out any IP addresses.is this possible (not how, I can read manuals and earlier posts…) ?
The easiest way that I can think of is to use a linux box running Avahi with an interface on every VLAN where you want to listen and repeat the mDNS queries to. Be careful with the firewall rules on this machine, or it can be used to "jump" between networks.In the layer 3 example above, is it possible to have the switch route traffic but forward things like mdns broadcasts to the opnsense router where they can be reflected to select other vlans?
Having to do stuff like hoping the mdns-proxy/avahi-reflector would work stably and not cause grief for my wife is why I flattened my network back out after having full layer 3 VLAN routing done on the switch.The easiest way that I can think of is to use a linux box running Avahi with an interface on every VLAN where you want to listen and repeat the mDNS queries to.

Just install SPR. That way if you ever want to experiment, it doesn't require a firmware update and reload.What is recommended for firmware L2(sps) or L3(spr)? I will be running some vlans which pfsense is handling the routing on at the moment so should I just stick to L2?
Not in any meaningful way that I'm aware of. Fohdeesha's guides assume SPR since it has you assign an IP to a VE. I haven't had to reference it in a while, so I don't recall if he has the L2 only steps in there as well. Probably does, it's pretty thorough.Is the sps easier to setup or perform better?
Not sure if the other switches are different but the 7250 has the following pinout for the miniusb port.Looking for a little help creating a console cable for the brocade switches. I've searched through the thread and saw other examples but for whatever reason my cable does not appear to work.
I hacked up a micro usb cable and attached its wiring to a RJ45 keystone. Green to pin 6, White to pin 3. Red & Black to nothing. And connected that to a cisco RJ45 to USB console cable.
Am I doing something wrong with the wiring?
That worked! Thank you!Swap your green and white cables. Next time use test clips to confirm before you punch down.
no, just follow the guideIs the sps easier to setup or perform better?
I still think you are missing a ground which could cause you issues. It probably works because you have an electrical ground through your home that commons up the 2 devices but I wouldn't count on it and could even cause damage if you get too much of a differential between the devices.That worked! Thank you!
