I do, but it's not critical at this time and I have yet to see one on Fleabay. Keeping my eyes out though...

Crud, I haven't looked beyond 8.0.95. Hopefully they replaced it with something that will accept single, full-duplex links. I'll have to go do some digging. Thanks!
And, while you're eyes-on, Fohdeesha, thanks again for all your effort and research into these devices!
Hmm stacking should definitely work with single links! (otherwise when a redundant two link stack connection lost a link, it would become...quite useless)
My ICX7450-48P came with both PSUs and 2 40G modules, but no 10G module and missing a fan, for $300. You might do better right now, eBay stock is always changing obviously. The fan and 4x10 module cost me another $90 ($60 for fan, $29 for 10G); the 4x10's are cheaper now, fan supply is ... erratic; right now, ICX-FAN10-E modules are $100+Rats! Thanks for letting me know.May I ask about what your 7450 ran you?
I have a spare 48zp if you hone in on this model.
Hi guys, I just jumped into the ICX bandwagon, may I be the last wagon? Hopefully not, because it's great hardware for the price!
Joke aside, anyone running firmware version 8030u on ICX6450? I saw some posts from like a year ago, on this same thread, where it was mentioned it had some bugs or it was "being tested", so my question is: anybody running it without any abnormalities?

Thats the latest/last firmware for the ICX6450, so pretty much everyone in this thread using a ICX-6*** is using it, I am on my 6450. I am sure there are a few bugs, but none that affect me and all is well for the last year or 2.Hi guys, I just jumped into the ICX bandwagon, may I be the last wagon?

Thanks, that actually works pretty well! How did you connect the ASIC fan?
two way power asic fan ， use fan power（fan voltage will reduce to 4.5 or 5v when system fan on speed 1） or use 12v power from psu （always full speed for asic fan）
I use first method on icx7250-24 , temperature reduce 10C , but still a little bit high , now consider use second method
After battling with it for over a week, I finally got SNMP working on my Brocade ICX 7250.
And I'm able to snmpwalk with:

I'd love to see a writeup of your InfluxDB setup when you get it working! I like pretty charts.
Also, for the good of the order-- I'm currently trying to make sense of Splunk (there's a low-volume free licence, maybe <5gb a day?)-- would folks be interested in a writeup on that, if anything useful shakes out of it?
Ah, ok, I had put in for Develop | Splunkbase which is 10gb/day, 6 months renewable. Mea culpa! I think there's also a 50gb /6 month version, but frankly I'm not fussed about 500MB/day of logs as a limitation. I do wish they left the LDAP functionality in though; it's on my list to play with.
If you updated to FastIron 09.0.0+ the tor enablement command changed toWho wants to live dangerously?
I gave the FI reversing roughly a 2 year hiatus, but today my ADD got the better of me and FI nostalgia took precedence over work. 2.5Gbps was still on my agenda despite the interfering hardware. A big FU to high quality engineering and the DS100DF410 tucked inside!
I couldn't bother to dust off my Ghidra script FISeek - Pastebin.com to seek hidden commands in newer firmware, nor determine what disassembled firmware version was before me... It's dated and the hardcoded addresses within the script will not work on other versions but who cares (FYI It was 8080b and @fohdeesha has the list buried in their guide if you're interested).
5-10 minutes into it, I had what I needed, Broadcom Shell access! Don't know why it evaded me last time, since it is deadly obvious. I knew the command wastorbut I was oblivious to enabling it. Stare at the disassembly for too long and you lose sight of things.
Now that I have the holy grail of switch privileged access, it's a no brainer to try out 2.5G. Guess what? It doesn't work outside of the switch ASICdm i2cor take pictures of your 7150 PCB.
FYI You can replacedmwithddfor the commands below.
Anyway, to enable access to Broadcom Shell, rundm device-command toror the cheekydm device-command 2762233(It spells out BROCADE on a touch tone phone).

If you update ICX 7250 to 09.0.0 are the licensing requirements any different? I am toying with the idea of getting one and wanted to find out as much as I could about the licensing. If anyone could provide information it would greatly be appreciated.
Nope, same honor based lics. I'd like to emphasize to everyone that the v09000 release is a brand new codetrain entirely and a GA release, not even lettered yet. Expect many quirks and bugs, I've already ran into a handful poking around. The WEB UI is certainly....shinier than the old one, I personally don't care for any web UI but I have a feeling a lot of people here (casual users) would prefer it over the old web UI
New owner of a 6450-24 here.
Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge, specially @fohdeesha.
I had to enable L3 capabilities and upgrade the firmware, but the manual is very clear.
Unfortunately fan is loud (for me), even after booting and settle down the rpms a little.
I've seen that is a general consensus to use a Sunon MagLev 40x40x20, but I have one Noctua NF-A4 to spare.
Will it be enough or better use the Sunon?
Also, where do I have to register to access official docs for the switch? Don't know if its Broadcom (since they adquired Brocade) or Ruckus.
Thanks.

Did you read/use the upgrade and config guide linked in my OP? it contains a ZIP that has all of the official docs. Broadcom only acquired brocades fibrechannel stuff, ruckus acquired the switching line
