Because I don’t have a slim fan. Those two heat pipes pair with 0.1a delta 8020 fan made the temperature 61.7 degree, with a Foxconn 0.16a 8028 fan is 60 degree. Room temperature around 22 degree.

Can you post the parts / components (heatpipe and secondary heatsinks) and the adhesive you used for that? That's actually a brilliant solution.

Those heatpipes are 140mm long 11mm height and 3mm thickness from AliExpress. Small heat sinks are from vintage ATI video card and north bridge chips. I put thermal paste on the heatsink fin’s bottom then use silicon rtv to bonding them together.

Checking in, just received a 7250-24P and am putting it through its paces - trying out different cooling options (I don't need it super silent, but I would like it to be a little less noisy, we will see....)
The switch will replace a CRS312-4C + 8XG-RM and a cisco sg200-26, and a passive POE injector, and just wanted to report that all existing 10G cabling/transceivers that I was using with the Mikrotik works flawlessly with the 7250:

  • 10GBaseT Transceiver: ipolex 10Gb/s SFP+ RJ45 Module , 55EUR new from Amazon
  • DAC Cables: QSFPTEK 10G SFP+ DAC Copper Twinax (18EUR - 1M , 25EUR 2M New)
  • 10Gtek 10G SFP+ SR Multimode 10Base-SR, SFP-10G-SR - 37EUR/Pair new on Amazon

Followed the guide without major issues, I only had trouble doing the tftp uefi firmware upgrade if using a tftp server not directly connected to the switch .... the transfer would stall and then timeout after 50 of the 60MB of the firmware were transferred


The only hiccup was a hardware one, one of the three POE modules is busted, so I will have POE only on 16 of the 24 ports, it looks like a common 'misunderstanding' with units purchased on ebay, and given that the seller was international, we agreed on a partial refund, so the switch ended up costing me 400USD plus shipping

So far so good, thanks for all the info that this thread provided I was able to hit the ground running with VLAN configurations, POE settings and such

Guys - anyone got any experience with ESXI 7 and these switches ? (6610 enabled using the excellent guide in this thread - latest firmware and all ports licensed) I am trying to setup two of the 1Gb/s copper ports in a LAG to the server - during initial installation and commissioning. i.e. i want to have the ports enabled in a static LAG and when it comes time to select the VMware Management interface i want to select the two NICs that are in the LAG.

I have the LAG configured and working fine - however when i select both ports then the server is not contactable ? The server is a Dell 730 series and using the 4 onboard ports - the idea is to use two of them for management in a LAG and the other two for VM Traffic with an add in 10GB adapter for Storage traffic.

Craig

any 7250 vets who have sense moved on to other 10 gig switches that are as feature rich? Basically fully layer 3?

I've moved to a Juniper core with ex3300, but it's pretty much the same noise level as the 7250. Still got a few fanless icx switches kicking around though.

I enabled a dual mode on a 6450 switch for vlan 80 on a port that links to a 7150-c12 switch. How do I set the port on the 7150 (that connects to the 6450) as I dont think there is dual mode on the 7150?
Does this mean every port on the 7150 will be on vlan 80 or only the ones I set so?

much thanks

On the 7150 you can configure tagged and untagged vlans on the same port directly, as you discovered it no longer uses dual mode.

forgive my newbie question, but how exactly do you do that?
Click to expand...
Where on the 6xxx you have to do this:
Code: 
vlan 69
tag eth 1/1/12

vlan 80t
tag eth 1/1/12

int eth 1/1/12
dual-mode 80
On the 7xxx, all you have to do is:
Code: 
vlan 69
tag eth 1/1/12

vlan 80
untag eth 1/1/12

Please correct me if I am wrong
so if its port 1 on the 7150 that is connected to the 6450, these would be the commands I need to input to allow vlan 80 and vlan1 traffic to pass on to 7150?

vlan 80
tag ethe 1/1/1

and if want vlan 80 only to port 12 of the 7150?

vlan 80
untag ethe 1/1/12

Yes. All of this is well documented in the Ruckus manuals, by the way :)

Post 'sh run' from both switches. You can wrap them in CODE and SPOILER tags to keep formatting and also not flood the page. The '...' drop down next to the Emoji in the editor can help you with that.

Those look correct. When you say the device on 1/1/12 of the 7150 cannot be accessed, how are you trying to access it (from which port on which switch)?

Replying to myself here for my long term memory and maybe to avoid the same 'issue' for other users ....
Just spent a couple hours troubleshooting what I thought was an issue with my LAGs over the 10GB links ... turned out I 'forgot' to enable Jumbo frames on the Brocade, so ping was working, connectivity between non jumbo-enabled hosts and everything else was working (included VMs running on top of kvm on jumbo-enabled servers) but tcp connectivity between said servers was sketchy/timing out (ICMP was working and that should have told me what the cause was from the beginning)...

Enabled jumbo frames reloaded the switch and ... everything working as it should ...

Long story short, tftp transfers were timing out because of the tftp servers being on one of the jumbo-enabled hosts (truenas) ....

Replying to myself here for my long term memory and maybe to avoid the same 'issue' for other users ....
Just spent a couple hours troubleshooting what I thought was an issue with my LAGs over the 10GB links ... turned out I 'forgot' to enable Jumbo frames on the Brocade, so ping was working, connectivity between non jumbo-enabled hosts and everything else was working (included VMs running on top of kvm on jumbo-enabled servers) but tcp connectivity between said servers was sketchy/timing out (ICMP was working and that should have told me what the cause was from the beginning)...

Enabled jumbo frames reloaded the switch and ... everything working as it should ...

Long story short, tftp transfers were timing out because of the tftp servers being on one of the jumbo-enabled hosts (truenas) ....

  • Comair Rotron "Gryphon" GDA4028-12BB - discontinued, alas
    If you can find these? BUY THESE. 40x40x28mm, but 11CFM, 0.34in H2O, 8800RPM, but just 31.4dBA! I am still mad they discontinued them. No, I am not selling any of my spares.

I was able to find three of these on Ebay to swap into my 6540P. However, I am going to have to buy some connectors as they came with bare wires.

I've looked on Amazon but cannot seem to find exactly what I need. Are they 3 pin JST connectors? 2.0 or 2.54mm? Any help to get the right connector and crimper would be much appreciated.

Those look correct. When you say the device on 1/1/12 of the 7150 cannot be accessed, how are you trying to access it (from which port on which switch)?

When I plug in a ip cam onto 1/1/12 on the 7150 , i cannot get to the web UI , and the light on the switch port is orange (not yellow on the other switch ports). I plug the same IP cam into a port in the 6450 ( which is untagged to vlan 80) , it works as it should.
