I have probably missed it. But for the icx 7450, I know you stack them using the rear 40g or the front 10g. And some commands. But can you then run another 40g cable off the 2nd switch to the main 100g switch we have?
If you setup a linear stack (not ring), and the 40G ports are usable for non-stacking purposes on that unit, then yes.

a quick question,
does 6450 comes with 2 (10G) SPF+ by default? I saw some items on ebay list 6450 with 4x1G SPF instead
it's confusing.

As per the spec sheet, the 6430 models and the 6450-c12 are 1gb sfp.

The 6450 24 & 48 (P and non-P) models are 2x10gb, 2x1gb by default. The 2x1gb are software unlockable to 10gb if you follow the instructions from the first post.

Probably just make sure it's not a mislabeled 6430?

Question for anyone who knows

I followed the guide from here ICX7xxx Advanced - Fohdeesha Docs

Is there any reason I shouldn't update all the way to latest v9 code? The downloads in that guide are all v8. I followed it just to get to a good baseline, but I'm trying to figure out if its worth upgrading

Second, I also followed the guide and got the interface on VLAN 1 and a static IP, but after configuring my VLAN's I wanted to get the interface onto VLAN 80 instead, my management VLAN

So, I did

configt
vlan 1
no router-interface ve1
exit

vlan 80
router-interface ve80
exit

router-interface ve80
ip address 10.0.80.4/24
exit

no ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.0.1
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.80.1

no ip dns server-address 10.0.0.1
ip dns server-address 10.0.80.1


Does that get me to the correct place for what I want? The "Problem" I am facing is that the console fills up with entries for each VLAN that say

Debug: Oct 11 08:29:17 No address! cannot send IGMP msg. Must config address on VL30 or a loopback port

Is that expected? I have a trunk port with all my VLAN's on, and a port for a future AP with all the VLAN's on, but no interfaces for each VLAN of course, since I'm not doing any L3

I don't recall seeing that when I had the interface on VLAN1, but then I don't know if I had the console up for long
I've got my 7250 on 9 codebase without problems. If anything you definitely SHOULD update to 9 so you can disable SHA1 for SSH.

UPDATE! I bought these, the MikroTik S+RJ10, but they do not work. I was wondering if it would affect the 10GB license. firmware is 09.0.10h

Post the output of show license. It'll help with questions like that. Of course the switch needs to have the appropriate licenses for it to work.[/QUOTE]

For the ICX7xxx series, no actual licenses are required. Around the release of FastIron v8060, they enabled honor-based licensing. This means you can simply install and unlock a valid license yourself with the license install command. That's it! Congratulations Ruckus, you did it. Just be sure to be running the recent firmware from this guide first.

Well, you were on to something. I was on Person 9 firmware, so I had to go to port settings to find the port I wanted, and where it says flow counter, I had to set it to none. than back to honor only, im going to restart the switch to make sure the settings are set and stay set althought these sfp+ to rj45 get damn toasty

I see to remember having change the interface config from auto negotiation to hard set 10g full. try doing that.
so what i did to make it work was sign in to the web gui on Version 9, go to port settings, click edit and i had to change port speed to 10gb full and flow contral to none
