Well, that didnt work at all It installed and I can see it on putty but it wont fully boot i get alot of random debug errors for some reason i tryed to up date with the copy tftp flash and the manifest text both work i can see it on sh ver but will not load.

i even went from 8095k and upgraded to the 8095m worked like a charm but for some reason why time it touchs 9.0 software its goes in to bipolar mode
Been using an ICX6610 for a while I set up with the docs from Fohdeesha (huge thanks BTW), but recently trying to split my kids off onto a separate vlan and I can't seem to get it working. I was wondering if anyone had a minute to help. I've never set up vlans before, so this has been quite the learning experience for me.
Running pfSense virtualized with ESXi, Unifi AP's, and an ICX6610.
ISP--->AT&T Fiber Modem (hardware passthrough, 1GB intel NIC)-->Virtualized pfSense vmx0 -->Vmware vSwitch--> (ConnectX3 40GBE) ICX6610
Main network is 10.0.0.0/22 default vlan
Kids network planned to be 10.10.0.0/24 on vlan10
Unifi AP's are on 1/1/46 and 1/1/48 via 1GBE using POE
ESXi vSwitch is on 1/2/1 and 1/2/6 via ConnextX3 40GBE
pfSense connects to the vSwitch via vmx0
Right now, kids are all wireless, but I'll eventually be adding 1/1/23 and 1/1/24 to the kids vlan10 for desktops.
I've already set up a vlan10 network in Unifi, and a unique SSID.
pfSense already has a vlan10 set up on vmx0, and the interface assigned and enabled
pfSense WAN is igb1 via hardware passthrough to my AT&T fiber modem
I set up a DHCP server on pfSense for vlan10 for 10.10.0.50 to 10.10.0.200
I can't seem to get traffic passing through the ICX6610 switch, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I created a vlan10, tried adding the switch ports to it and putting them in dual mode, but then no traffic seems to pass, even from the untagged vlan. I know I need to set up 1/1/46, 1/1/48, 1/2/1 and 1/2/6 as trunks to pass all traffic, but I don't understand the command line syntax for it and I can't seem to get it right, or am I completely off base and misunderstanding the correct vlan topology?
I cleaned most of my experimentation and went back to a relatively clean show run for the ICX6610. Output below:

Looking at what you pasted, I don't see that you've added any ports to the VLAN as either tagged or untagged. I only have 7k series units, so my syntax is slightly different for trunking, but for a pure trunk port where you have may not need a default/native/untagged VLAN, the command should be similar to:
Code:
SSH@office-sw(config-vlan-4)#tag e 1/3/1Edge ports to workstations would be untagged, like:
Code:
SSH@office-sw(config-vlan-4)#untag e 1/1/1What PoE hardware did they use the 7250 series?
This is the second 7250 I got with blown PoE hardware now... Never seen this on any other switch
This is the second 7250 I got with blown PoE hardware now... Never seen this on any other switch
I'm still missing it I think, sorry. Adding switch ports to a vlan tells the switch which vlan that port should be, but you also need to issue the tag e port# as well so tagged/untagged traffic will flow? This might be what I was missing.
For example for my config, I have two workstations that should be vlan 10, 1/1/23 and 1/1/24. Everything else should be untagged on the default vlan1, except trunk ports. Trunk ports are 1/3/1 and 1/3/6 for the connection from esxi to the icx6610, and both of these should be dual mode, correct? Same with 1/1/46 and 1/1/48. These come from the unifi AP's and will be carrying both vlan10 and vlan1 traffic, so they need to be dual mode and tagged as well, correct?
I need tagged and untagged to flow on trunk ports, and I'm not understanding how to do this.
Does this look correct?
Vlan 1
Code:
SSH@ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-1)# Untagged eth 1/1/1 to 1/1/22
SSH@ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-1)# Untagged eth 1/1/25 to 1/1/45

SSH@ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-1)# Untagged eth 1/3/1
SSH@ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-1)# Untagged eth 1/3/6
Code:
ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-10)# Untagged eth 1/1/24 to 1/1/25
ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-10)# Tagged eth 1/1/46 to 1/1/48
ICX6610-48P(config-vlan-10)# Tagged eth 1/3/1

Hi,
I bought an 7250-48P but I cannot see the console nor I am able to find a way to enter its configuration or http page.
I'm using this mini-usb to RS232 cable (don't know if it is valid) but after opening the COM port with putty, all I see is a black screen. No messages, no boot, no login...
I think the switch does boot up and loads the OS, as the fans begin at full speed and a couple of minutes later they rev down.
Any ideas to where to go from here?

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've searched for the pinout but it seems it's nowhere to be found.
Found a DIY tuto on Reddit which implies shredding a micro usb and a Cisco cable.
Yes, that's pretty much it. buy the official Ruckus cable or hack one together. If a previous owner plugged in a standard USB cable expecting a USB to serial UART on the far end, then they most likely burned it out completely since they would have hit the serial port with USB line voltage.
Maybe this is the Reddit post you found: Reddit post
I don't know if that was the post I followed, but I chopped up a USB cable and attached it to a keystone so I didn't have to mangle my perfectly good Cisco cable. I have since bought a proper Ruckus cable.
That's one of the 2 post on Reddit that I found (Here's the other).
What are the chances of configuring a switch with a burnt usb serial port?
I wouldn't mind buying one official cable if I can make the switch work first.
how are you with component repairs? Most likely, it'll have popped the uart chip. They may have thought ahead and put some sacrificial components in the path that can be swapped out.
It also looks like it may be a daughter board.
I would bet $50 the console port is fine, tons of people just in this thread have accidentally plugged regular USB ports into them, they can handle it fine. your issue is probably your usb to serial adapter, use it with another serial device to verify it actually works, or buy an ftdi model off amazon. also official console cables for these are only like 20 bucks to take the guesswork out of wiring Brocade ICX7250, ICX7450 ICX7750 DB9 Female to USB Mini Serial Console Cable 6FT | eBay
Does anyone get a moment to look this over and make sure this will work before I send myself down a 2-3 hour rabbit hole again?
Luckyly for me, @fohdeesha was right and culprit was the mini USB adapter I was using, because I suck at manual skills requiring precision.
I did a guetto mini usb to serial adapter following the reddit guide and it worked, but needed to redo the wiring more than 10 times.
I'm following the guide right now to have the latest firmware flashed.
Time to check if all ports work normally, POE included.
Definitely I want a proper console cable, so will post a WTB on the forum soon.
Hey Guys,
I have a couple of 6610s here - one is my testing and messing around one and the other in production.
Currently i am using two of the rear ports at 40Gb/s into Mellanox cards in my ESXi cluster.
I could really use a 3rd one though for my final host
At the moment i am using the 2 x extra ports (stacking) at the back with a fanout 4x10Gb cable to other hosts
Is it possible to turn stacking on for just one of the ports on the rear so i could stack a 2nd 6610 and then use its 2 x 40Gb ports to connect my hosts and use one fanout on each of the switches to connect other clients ?
So it would look like
2 x 40GB on the first switch to ESXI hosts
1 x Fanout from stacking port on first switch to 10GB clients
1 x stacking port on first switch at 40Gb to 2nd switch
1 x 40GB port on 2nd switch to ESXi host ?
So the basic question i guess is once the stacking is turned on - are both ports put into stacking mode ?
Do i just use a stadnard QSFP cable to stack both switches ?

I will confirm, this cable works fine if you need to buy one, i own it and use it often with my 6450
