Does anyone have a link for a well-priced, Brocade actual (not "compatible"), 1 meter, SFP+, passive, DAC cable? I know the Brocade switches are agnostic, but I would like a real Brocade cable. I just want to be able to run "show optic."

Show optic does nothing for a DAC. There's no optical component, so there can't be optical monitoring, which is what the show optic command is for.
Edit: If you have non-Ruckus/Brocade coded optics, you can do "non-ruckus-optic-enable". Or just order them from FS.com coded for Brocade and stop worrying about it.
I wondered about that on a passive DAC... thanks for the clarification.
I have a 6450 and last I knew the "non-ruckus-optic-enable" command did not work on these switches? Am I remembering right/wrong? For fiber I have just been sticking to Brocade branded. They cost about the same anyway.
Oh, I only have 7k family units, so not sure what the process is for a 6k. But get it from FS.com and have it coded for Brocade and it won't matter. It's not like an encrypted signature or anything, just an ID burned into the SFP/DAC and the switch won't know the difference.
This is a FS.com DAC, with one end coded for Ruckus, on my 7450:

Try to add the line to each physical interface:
Code:
no spanning-tree
e.g.
interface ethernet 1/2/1
port-name xxxx
no spanning-treeThe explanation is somewhere within this thread. I think it was about spanning tree being active per port even though it is globally disabled.
At least it helped in my case.
Does anyone have any pointers on debugging / profiling an ICX switch?
I’ve had an ICX6450-48P that’s been fairly bullet proof running 8.0.30u, but recently moved the core to an ICX7150-C12 on 8.0.95g to squeeze some longer runtime on my UPS. The 7150 had been working well for the first few days but locked up last night, with L2 traffic flowing through the switch but no L3 traffic passing across VEs and no response over the USB-C or the RJ45 serial consoles.
With no ability to access the switch via SSH or over serial, I pulled power and everything came back up just fine, but I’d like to figure out how to diagnose this if it happens again.
After reboot, I checked
but it looks as if the log was cleared on reboot.

Code:
sh logYou need to stream your logs to external syslog server.
For instance:
Code:
logging host <IP> udp-port 1514
logging enable rfc5424Since 1/2/1 and 1/2/4 are RJ45 SFP+, then there will be no optic monitoring data for them either, Brocade or not. They're not optics. Also odd that 1/2/1 and 1/2/4 report themselves as 10G-SR; that's an optical designation, IIRC. And no 10G over CAT5/6 is going 300m, spec is 100m max.
I suspect if you go into conf t > int e 1/2/1 and issue whatever command enables optical monitoring, you'd get an error similar to my 7450:
Code:
SSH@core(config)#int e 1/3/1
SSH@core(config-lag-if-lg4)#optical-monitor 8
Port lg4 is 40G copper and cannot support Optical Monitoring feature.Just got a 6450 . Trying to set up 2 lags of 2 10G ports each . Is there anyway I can see the speed of the lag (like in most other switches ? I do " show lag" and this is what I get I was expecting to see 20G somewhere.

Anyone running a 6450-24P with Noctuas? If so what kind of temps are you getting? Mine seems to constantly volley between ~58-64C... runs at fan speed 1, heats up, fan speed 2 cools it down, back to 1, repeat process. Like every 15 minutes or so. I only have 40W of POE draw which I consider to be a pretty light load considering this switch is rated for 370W.
I really like the noise level of the Noctuas (and was not thrilled with the Sunon KDEs I ordered previously) so I would like to keep the Noctuas if possible...
EDIT: Getting much better temps now with some network cabinet ventilation and rearranging devices in my rack. Still experimenting a bit.

Per port yes and I can see 10G on the ports that make up the lacp but nowhere have I found the speed that actually makes up the lacp anywhere.

Maybe it's a newer thing then. When I do sh int br I get a list of all interfaces, including the LAGs:
Code:
lg4 Up Forward Full 80G 4 Yes 1 0 cc4e.248b.3270I'm having issues updating my new 7250-24P to the latest 08095hufi.bin image in the download bundle. I followed the set up directions and got it running the non-UFI 08090mc.bin image, but when I try to run:
I get the following output:
Oddly enough when I try to reflash the 08090mc.bin file via TFTP I get a slightly different error:
My TFTP server logs show the correct file is being requested and at one point it worked to flash the original 08090mc.bin image, so I assume there is no configuration problem with the TFTP server or network. I've tried redownloading the firmware image a few times just in case it's some kind of file corruption. I've been running all this over serial, but I've also tried using SCP both to and from the switch per the instructions in the Ruckus 08.0.95 upgrade guide, but despite ironing out various issues with legacy SSH ciphers/options (I think) it still doesn't seem to work either. Very much appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions, I have a feeling I'm messing up something very simple but I can't figure out what it could be.
UPDATE: In case anyone else finds this, I just ended up flashing the firmware via USB. Still very confused why the TFTP flashing worked in the boot environment, but not when flashing a UFI image from within Fast Iron, I guess it must have been some network configuration change once the application was up and running.

1) Yes just repeat the steps i listed for additional ports and leave out the dual mode unless you need the VLAN 1 support
2) Yes if you have a "trunk" (Cisco namng) style device with multiple VLANs - just treat it like the Unifi as well - remembering that the opposite of cisco you add ports to VLANs not VLANs to ports.
Craig
Just trying this now - at first glance - just adding it to each of the 1/2/x ports does not appear to have made any difference - just migrating some VMs now so i can restart the Host
Craig
Kudos for the assistance Craig. Everything you outlined above has worked like a charm. I was able to add 1/2/1 to the "new" VLANs and didn't need to re-add to dual-mode nor did I lose connection via SSH during the process. Setting up new downstream ports to my WAPs, switches and hypervisor was even easier.
Once I'm feeling brave enough I may dabble into L3 routing, but the UDM SE is working well enough right now as router-on-a-stick so no urgent need. Nice to know that the L3 is available if I grow into it in the future.
