Shot in the dark, but I think egiga0 is the Management ethernet port (might be wrong). The error says it's not plugged in. Is that the port you've plugged into the tftp server? Cable good?

So it turns out, if I have a DHCP-server pool configured for the address space, then the dhcp relay will not work. I had thought that putting the pool in "pending" status ("no deploy") would be enough. But when I undefined it ("no ip dhcp-server pool guests"), the relay immedately started working.
Oof, man. How are we ever going to deploy a 20 year old technology with that attitude?
If it's okay, could you share your L3 config on the switch? Do you have a static IPv6 prefix? I'd like to experiment with putting my IPv6 routing on the switch, currently just have IPv4 on the switch and VyOS handling IPv6 routing.Well I upgraded to 09.x branch and I'm still seeing the same issues
I guess i'll just switch to moving the L3 terminations off the switch as it's super annoying to go up and down stairs losing my IPv6 connection (which is favored)
My IPv6 prefix was "static" - technically the ISP could renumber me, but they never have.
Here is the config I used prior to removing all the L3 stuff.
I used an upstream OPNSense router to do my WAN routing/firewalling. This was piped down with a transit vlan (vlan 88 in the config)
I don't think there was anything crazy in my config that was preventing the IPv6 neighbor cache from automagically updating, but who knows.
I've already given up on it and I ended up hosting a pair of VyOS instances as my "core" router and doing the same upstream transit to my OPNsense router.
Edit - and yes, all my IP's and domains have been edited to protect the innocent.
The VLAN I was having wifi issues with was "LAN", aKa vlan 5
The SFP to 10G may not support flow control or something and will cause the packets to drop and get resent.

I believe both of those should work but the first one seems to run much cooler.

The 3x MR4020X12B1-RSR in the 725-48 have made it whisper quiet and it runs great, thanks to @RoachedCoach!
However, I put 1x in the 6450-48 and after powering up the fan never slows down from 100% even with nothing plugged in. I only have one power supply and show chassis all looks fine. Am I missing something or does this fan just not work with 6450-48? Anyone got a recommendation for others that are good that I can buy from the UK?
Code:
The stack unit 1 chassis info:
Power supply 1 (NA - AC - Regular) present, status ok
Power supply 2 not present
Fan ok, speed (auto): [[1]]<->2
Fan speed switching temperature thresholds:
1 -> 2 @ 69 deg-C
1 <- 2 @ 64 deg-C
Sensor B Temperature Readings:
Current temperature : 28.5 deg-C
Sensor A Temperature Readings:
Current temperature : 36.0 deg-C
Warning level.......: 66.0 deg-C
Shutdown level......: 76.0 deg-CVery generous offer!
Thanks a lot. Today I received another switch I ordered via eBay due to the issues a faced. The serial connection was successful on the first try. So, here is definitely something wrong with the switch itself. I cannot tell you what it is, but it is the switch.Thank you for the tips! I tried all those baud rates one by one, unfortunately without success. I'll return the switch now.
EDIT: @fohdeesha ... And of course, a thousand thanks for this absolutely awesome documentation – really cool stuff!
I ran through all the setup/config/licensing steps without any problems.

I had no issues connecting to my TFTP server using the usb —>serial cable. Also was able to update/flash the new OS update_primary but afterwards trying to update the
bootloader: it connects to the TFTP server but seems to be trying to download and gives # or % (I can’t remember exactly which right now) and then the message about exceeeded number of retry’s allowed. I had powered down both units for a few days and when setting up everything it had the correct image names already, and this could be a remembered setting or listing the versions that are updated. Idk.So I need to update or check version number for uboot and then update the firmware for POE.
the It’s the top left corner. Ive assumed it was the management but if it’s as simple as moving it to the top right I’ll try that when I can this afternoon and report back. Not sure that it would have allowed the primary update if it wasn’t management. Thanks

Just to update this earlier post, the management port is in the top left. And while I repeatedly followed various instructions and was never exactly sure it worked sometimes but after the most recent power cycle and disconnecting the LAN it just looks/presents what I assume is the correct info and versions. Thanks!
that is an out of date image, and the limited switch-features only image as well. You need to cable the switch properly, then follow the guide from the beginning
- the ethernet management port, that you need to plug into your network to update properly, is the BOTTOM left. The top left is the serial console port
Hi,
I updated firmware on my router, noticed some connection issues so I logged into my three ICX-7250's, did a wr mem, then reload. Two of the three of them came up fine but the third one somehow did a factory reset. I have the settings written down and was able to reset it up with no real headaches except - this happened to me before on one of the other switches. I am wondering if I did something wrong or why it factory reset itself?
I am running an older firmware from Fohdeesha. I know I can use a newer firmware but am not really sure if it is something I can upgrade or if it requires factory resetting the switches, updating, then reconfiguring so I have held off on it as things work fine except for the occasional unexpected factory reset.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Rich

I can't explain your "factory reset", but the switches do have two firmware slots, maybe you ended up on the other one somehow?
Thank you - I will give that a try. If I upgrade my switch after backing up the running config - does it keep my info? Meaning will my running config from my 7250 firmware 08.0.80eT213 backup be accepted on the newer 7250 firmware - ?
Yes, and it may even be modified during the upgrade process if changes are required. The upgrade guides for each firmware release will tell you about those things.
Just wanted to say i did the upgrade, ran the restore command & i think everything is working perfectly again!
Not really sure how to see if something didnt transfer over but so far so good!
This worked out well for me I have one more switch to do. Just a note to others - after you upgrade, then restore your config - DO NOT - wr mem after or you could spend an extra hour reflashing everything multiple times.......
Also curious - can these upgrades be done via usb drive using the disk0?

I had some network issues due to some usb-c nic card. My last switch is in a shed with a harder upgrade due to 1 cat6 wire.

Tinkered a bit. PSUs are Rev A. People say Rev C is better but Rev A is not even the loudest fan in the switch atm (edit: not 100% sure about this).
show pid-prom:
Date of manufacture at CM: 10/24/18
Tried removing 1X40GQ = saves 1W~ per module, not worth it.
Powering up second PSU added 7W~
Just realized it could make more sense to source ICX7400-4X10GC instead of using fs.com 100€+ adapters. Haven't yet found detailed specs about it. Would need 100m over Cat6.
fs.com DAC didn't work between ConnectX-3 Pro and 1X40GQ (reading back, I'm not the only one with this problem). OTOH Juniper JNP-QSFP-40G-LX4 worked great.

Hey all, I could really use some help setting up ACL's. I've been trying to find posts, documentation and guides but I really just don't quite get how this works. Very much an amateur with more advanced networking stuff.
Currently my network config is:
- Home_Main 192.168.0.1/24 (Default VLAN 1)
- Home_IoT 192.168.100.1/24 (VLAN 100)
What I want to achieve is:
- Devices on Home_IoT blocked from accessing any device on Home_Main except 192.168.0.50 (any port). Everything on Home_Main should have access to everything on Home_IoT however.
I'd much appreciate any help in setting this up.
