I'm sorry if this has been answered up thread but I can't seem to find the answer in my searching.
you need to go to an intermediate version boot and run first as there is a filesystem change that occurs. then you can go to later versions.

my recollection is like 8080 and SPZ10114

SSH key access on the 6450 series - once more.

So i now have my ICX6450-48p fully flashed with latest, licenced, and set up. As usual i had issues getting SSH key access to work:

First i generated a 2048 bit RSA key with
Code:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
But this method doesn't add the ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- line to the public keyfile. This produces an error when attempting to upload the public key via tftp:

Code:
icx6450(config)#ERROR: key# 1 must begin with ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
To add that line, i had to add the -e (export) command to ssh-keygen. I ran ssh-keygen again:

Code:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -e
Enter file in which the key is (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa):
this added the ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- and ---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- to my public keyfile. After uploading that public key it finally worked.

Note i did try to manually add those lines to my public keyfile at first, which did NOT work. It just resulted in Permission denied (publickey)

So i wrote this for anyone that has the same issues. I didn't notice this being documented in @fohdeesha 's guide for the ICX6450 series.

Hello all,

I bought an ebay ICX7250-48 running SW: Version 08.0.30hT213 and running into issues getting it to 8095

I'm following the guide fohdeesha posted on page 1

I run through and update update of uboot with no issues.

factory set-default completes quickly

update_primary returns the below:

I'm sorry if this has been answered up thread but I can't seem to find the answer in my searching.
it probably reverted to the secondary bootloader that was an older version during that first boot (when it failed) - this happened to one or two other people. spz10118.bin is the recommended bootloader for 8090mc and is what ruckus distributes for that version, so if that was the bootloader actually booting it should have loaded 8090mc without issues. These things like to fall back to the secondary bootloader sometimes when in the middle of a manual upgrade, need to add a couple commands to the guide to prevent it

I believe you are overthinking this a bit :)
.
.
.
That should be it: any device on the /27 subnet with a default gateway set to the ICX will then be able to send traffic to external destinations.
I went and try to do it, but I found out that the ISP is giving me these with /30 /27 in a 301VLAN. 1/3/1 is my fiber from ISP. With the below VLAN setup I can use U1/M1 ports 11 and 12 to get my VOIP phone and TV channels running directly, then if I go to U1/M1 2,4,6,8,10 I can either get a DHCP IP from ISP and if I go with VLAN 301 on the same ports I can use the /30.

Now if I were to set VE on VLAN 301 with the ISP provided IP/gateway from /30, will I be able to get any device which will be set with /27 and default gateway to the ICX reach internet if connected to these ports? I just want to add the /30 in the 301 somehow to get rid of the pfsense doing the routing between /30 /27 I am using now.

Thanks for the thumbs up @fohdeesha , if only you would recognize the significance of my tape mod :cool: Really, anyone running their switch with less than 3 fans should remember to block the empty fan cutouts with a piece of tape, the results are pretty dramatic.

Anyways, for my fan mod on the 6450, i'm planning on trying the Arctic S4028-6K

they have 2 models, 6K and 15K, and they seem to be designed exactly for our purpose. Plus they are very affordable.

Hi folks, I'm the proud owner of a straight-from-ebay ICX6450 and R500, and I can't power one from the other. The R500 does power up from another PoE switch, but doesn't power up off any port on the 6450. This is a 6450-24P according to the labeling, and I've upgraded the PoE firmware as per @fohdeesha's fantastic guide, set inline power on all the ports, but there's no power coming out of any of them.

One possibly peculiar thing is that although show inline power detail works, unlike other people's results from upthread mine doesn't show any values under cumulative statuses:

This thread is just bonkers, truly insane levels of deep diving on display here by all - bravo!

Somewhat predictably I've now got an ICX6450-24P on its way from USA to UK, to join a Lenovo m720q/pfSense combo that STH also convinced me I desperately needed. You guys have a lot to answer for... I'm excited to start playing :p

It seems you don't have PoE (inline power) enabled on any port.

This is what a port on my 6450-24p looks like when inline power is enabled, note the value set in the column "PD Class"

This exact thread convinced me to go 10gig in my home lab. I got ICX6610-24P on eBay for next to nothing. Fully unlocked and upgraded, thanks to amazing Fohdeesha's guides.
It served well-running, mainly my hodge-podge all-flash vSan cluster and a few POE APs. This cluster recently unexpectantly crashed and burned. One of the remained loads on it was Pihole which is now happily running on a tiny S905X ARM board (somewhat similar to raspberry pi 3) - this is what I had at hand. Real RasPi boards are too expensive now.
I know all there is to know about VMWare virtualization, and I see near-zero interest in all my recent employers to explore VMWare's new offerings. One word has on everyone's (i.e., IT Management) lips, and it's the Cloud. Despite its "best" efforts, VMWare doesn't have a great cloud strategy or direction.

Alas, I recently decided in another direction - to simplify and consolidate my home lab/home stuff to a bare minimum to cut my electric bill and simply its management. Plus you don't need on-prem aging hardware to run a lab in the cloud :)

So yesterday, I powered off my ICX6610-24P for now until it's time to shine again may be needed.
For now, 1gig is all I need. APs consolidated, and a few moved to POE injectors.
The full circle is complete now.

p.s: Don't ask me to sell it, I promised I won't

Some middle aged men switch from the V8 gas-guzzler to a Toyota Prius and convince themselves they are being rational. They grow long hair and twist it into a man-bun every morning. But in the end, it doesn't work, because real men need raw power.

I suggest you upgrade to a 800BHP V12 instead, you'll feel better ;)

Living in the suburbs with a family of 4 - two cars tend to be a necessity. A few years ago, I got rid of my old 1999 Corolla and replaced it with 5.5 seconds 0-60 sedan. 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T EX-L more specifically. I call it my rational mid-life crisis car. I expect its replacement to be faster and likely a speedy BEV when the time comes.

I'll see in a few months, maybe by this fall; once my cooling bills go down, I might put the switch back to use. Who knows.

OK. I've been banging my head against this for a bunch of hours and I would love it if someone could just point out where I'm being dumb. I cannot for the life of me get my 7250 to route between VLANs. I'm running pfsense/opnsense (virtualized and switching between back and forth between the two while I get my opnsense install fully operational--for the purposes of this question, it doesn't matter which firewall I'm running). I have a bunch of VLANs--more than I need, but whatever. 3 of the VLANs are trusted, and I want to be able to route between them via the switch rather than going out to the firewall. The rest of the VLANs I want to go ahead and use the firewall to the extent there needs to be routing between them (rare), because I'm substantially more comfortable with filter rules than ACLs. At the bottom of this message is my current running config, and here is the output of 'sh ip route':
Code:
SSH@coreswitch(config)#sh ip route
Total number of IP routes: 6

2       10.10.10.0/24      DIRECT          ve 1010       0/0           D    10h49m
3       172.16.1.0/24      DIRECT          ve 2161       0/0           D    10h49m
4       172.16.2.0/24      DIRECT          ve 2162       0/0           D    10h49m
5       192.168.0.0/24     DIRECT          ve 2          0/0           D    10h49m
6       192.168.10.0/24    DIRECT          ve 10         0/0           D    10h49m
The three VLANs between which I want to route are 2, 10, and 1010. 2161 and 2162 are transit VLANs for WAN and LAN, respectively. When I set the gateway on any of the trusted VLANs for the firewall (X.X.X.1), everything works as expected. The firewall routes between VLANs according to my rules and I can get out to the internet. On the other hand, when I set the gateway on any of the trusted VLANs for the switch (X.X.X.254), I cannot reach one subnet from another. SSH/HTTPS are both inaccessible between local subnets. However, going out to the internet works, and for some reason I can ping between local subnets. This behavior is the same whether I'm running pfsense and opnsense, and even if I yank the LAN transit cable between the switch and the firewall.

At this point I'm ready to give up and just let the firewall handle all the routing, even thought it's not quite up to the task of linespeed routing. As an aside, how much CPU do you need to max iperf on 10gbe? Brief testing I can get ~7gbit with my i3-8100t.

Anyway, any suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks!

The plot thickens! I powered up the switch again today with an H510 plugged into a port, just out of curiosity to see what would happen, and... it worked! I had PoE working happily to both the H510 and R600:

So then I restarted the switch again out of curiosity, and sure enough back to no PoE, with the same output from show inline power detail as previously (ie, no aggregate port counts showing up at all).

It seems you don't have PoE (inline power) enabled on any port.
So I think that's now eliminated as a possibility since PoE worked and then didn't work again with no change in config. If PoE only works from a cold start (ie thermally cold, not just power cycle), somehow, that's probably a hardware fault, right? Has anyone seen this before? Anything else I could check, or should this unit just go back to the seller?

Oops, now that I have the serial console connected again I see endless:

Code:
PoE Error: Device 0 failed to start on PoE module.
PoE Error: Device 1 failed to start on PoE module.
And then it hard resets slot 1, and back to the beginning :( I'll try a firmware reflash and return it if that doesn't help.

It seems it is not an uncommon issue:

Have a small issue with a 7450-24... (resolved, see Edit 3)

Got it the other day, went on wiping and rebuilding according to the getting started instructions.

Connected to console, flashed the 7450 image and uboot, everything looked good.
Rebooted and got errors that the image on primary was not valid and it was using the secondary one. It continued to boot and ended up in Router-OS.

Called it a day, powered everything down.
Wanted to restart again today, assuming there was an issue with image transfer, had not touched anything.

Now the problem is that I dont have access to the serial console any more, its simply not connecting ( as i mentioned i have not touched the cable, have verified it twice since, tripple checked the settings).

The biox still boots, into routeros , get s an dynamic ip too. But, i cant login, neither on putty nor on the admin Gui.
Tried resetting via the hardware switch in case its the old image and has old pw's stored, nothing.
Maybe i have not found the correct combination for user/pw?

Its weird though that the console access is gone? can that be disabled from the OS level ?



Edit
Telnet allowed access without password... so ssh was not configured to allow access.
Now to see why the console is not working

Have not found anything...
tried flashing via telnet (older version since i am on Version 08.0.30fT213

TFTP to Flash Done.
Looks good, but after reload it has booted secondary image , despite me forcing primary one with
boot system flash primary

Seems i somehow corrupted the primary flash with that first installation :(

I know the instructions say to erase secondary after flashing but i am worried that would kill the switch entirely (due to no console access) if primary partition really is corrupt


Edit2

Weird, there is no indication that primary is corrupt, but its not booting from it apparently...

Hm maybe my bootloader and flashed FW are not compatible... https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...erful-10gbe-40gbe-switching.21107/post-325929




Edit3

Ok, managed to get console access back (different box, no idea why the first stopped working all of a sudden), and the issue was that the jump from .30 to .90 was too large.
So it applied everything fine but ran into
Code:
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
could not boot from primary, no valid image; trying to boot from secondary
BOOTING image from Secondary
From console i repeated the steps with 80e and matching spz which worked fine.
After that i was able to follow the regular instructions to update to the current release


Edit4 - found the problem with the com port, it was/is a vmware/Terminal services issue.

I just updated two of my ICX 7250 to 09010. One of them I can access the webui from a different subnet but the other one I can only access the webui from the same subnet. I have my switches and APs on a 172.x.x.x network and my user machines on a 10.x.x.x subnet. I have firewall rules to allow traffic to the infrastructure subnet from a list of admin IPs on the user subnet.

Is there a setting to allow/deny access to the switch admin from a different subnet?

For info for other people who will be looking into this following combination of Hardware/Software work perfectly:

Network Card:
Dell Mellanox ConnectX-3 CX354A (updated to 2.42.5000 and ports set to ETH)
Transceiver: Juniper 740-056705 QSFP+ 40GBASE-LX4
Optical Cable: Corning Fiber Optic Cable LC-LC SM DX 9/125 (Single Mode) 50 meters (cable polishing UPC)
Switch: Brocade IPX6610-48P - using 40GB "Stacking Port" 1/2/1
OS: Windows 10
Drivers: Default Windows Drivers for Mellanox (WinOF and WinOF-2 didn't want to install for some reason)

Biggest worry was about high power mode, as transceivers use 3.5W, which is supported only by ConnectX-3 Pro cards, so therefore have choose to use Single Mode Fiber cable /up to 2km with these transceivers/ rather than OM3 /up to 100m with these transceivers/.
