Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

[86turbodsl]

can you just paste the output of these regular commands:

show int eth 1/2/1
show media e 1/2/1
show log

then same on the 6610 for its 10g port. and paste 6610 config

On the 6450:

Let me know if you need anything else.

I have replaced fans in my 6450-48p with arctic s4028-15k

Temps are +- the same, loudness is +- the same(but new ones have better soundprofile, they do not whistle that much).

Tldr; Dont buy them if you want to have quiet switch

Yeah, the only mod that works to reduce the noise is going all the way and cutting 120/140mm fanmounts into the top cover and using a PWM generator to trick the ICX into thinking the fans are running at full RPM. I got mine quiet enough that I can't hear it in the bedroom from the network/alarm panel tucked away in the walk-in-closet on the other side of the master bath and called it a day.

Let me know if you need anything else.

that all looks fine, so yeah it's probably bad optic or fiber. you're using multimode fiber right? it's not yellow?

Nope, aqua, OM3, multimode, and here's the kicker, i've had connections in those ports with other equipment. And the fiber i'm using trying to connect has connected other equipment than the switch just fine. It's not the fiber. I'm hoping it's just the sfp modules or something stupid like that. brocade modules should be here in a day or two. Do i bother trying to stack the switches? i thought maybe i did something wrong and the stack might correct it, but maybe not.

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and would like to expand my Homelab a little.

Currently I have a Ubiquiti Unifi USW-Lite-8 POE switch.
For now I'm not using POE, but in the long run I'd like to replace the current Unifi Dream Machine with another SGW (usually mini PC with pfSense or something) that doesn't have a built in AP.
So poe would be nice, but I could also use the usw-lite for that. As long as I have a Unifi controller.

Spoiler: My homelab is currently not big:

• 1 x DrayTek Vigor 167 SVDSL modem (~4-5W)
• 1 x Unifi Dream Machine - Base (~18W)
• 1 x Unifi USW-Lite-8-POE (~7W)
• 1 x HP Z2 G4 SFF (Proxmox) 2x 1GbE(LACP, vm-traffic and management), 1x 40GbE (NAS connection) (~28W)
• 1 x HP 8300 Elite SFF (TrueNas) 2x 1GbE(LACP, client access and management), 1x 40GbE(NAS connection) (~39W)

I am currently looking at 4 switches in europe

• ICX-6450-24 on eBay for ~350€
• ICX-6450-24p on eBay for ~300€
• ICX-6450-48 on eBay for ~100€
• ICX-7150-24P on eBay for ~200€

Which one would you recommend or prefer in terms of power consumption .
ICX-6450-48 consumes about 35W in idle mode.
I haven't found anything for the 7150-24p, but looking at the specification PDF I would guess around 40W. Would be future proof with poe and a bit newer with the 7150 number I would guess? ^^

Greetings Simcaa

I measured some of them here https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/power-consumption-thread.34673/page-3#post-429400

Name	Power Consumption
Brocade ICX6450-24	24.0W
Brocade ICX7250-24	Don't have one
Brocade ICX6450-24P	35.8W (-16W compared to 7250-24P)
Brocade ICX7250-24P	51.8W (+16W compared to 6450-24P)
Brocade ICX6450-48	35.0W (-10.7W compared to 7450-48)
Brocade ICX7450-48	45.7W (+10.7W compared to 6450-48)
Brocade ICX6450-48P	57.8W (-6.6W compared to 7450-48P)
Brocade ICX7250-48P	64.4W (+6.6W compared to 6450-48P)

PSA: 350/300€ is FAR too expensive for ICX6450-24(P). About 150€ is fair.

That was also my assumption.
So I'm waiting for a better offer.

Which switch would you choose?

6450-24p or 7150-24p for the future?

I'm currently getting rid of my 7150-24P. The reason is: If I use a 24 port switch (and not a 48 port one), power consumption matters. So using a switch that uses ~45% more power doesn't make sense.
If you need the 4 more SFP ports or some newer firmware feature (like management with SmartZone or Unleashed), go for the ICX7250-24P

 

[86turbodsl]

that all looks fine, so yeah it's probably bad optic or fiber. you're using multimode fiber right? it's not yellow?

Got the Brocade sfp modules in, put them in, did a cold boot of both switches with only the 1 fiber between them and it connected. I don't know what it was, but it's working now. Is it worth trunking them? Or just do the tag/untag on the vlans i need separated on each switch?

Pretty sure fohdeesha proved that there is no power difference between the 6450 PoE and non-PoE if the PoE is not enabled. If power matters most than the 6450-24(p) is the best option. I have one and it sips power. fohdeesha even shows how to run one by using a PoE extractor from a PoE switch.

Brocade ICX6450

• the beef snack
• 24/48 1gbE copper (PoE available)
• 4x 10gbE SFP+
• Full layer 3, IPV4 + IPV6 routing, L2/L3/L4 ACL's, VRRP, OSPF, SNMP, sflow, all the usual
• 25w power draw for the 24-port models with or without PoE
• 50w power draw for the 48-port models with or without PoE
• 1 small fan, nearly silent (48 port and PoE models have 2 or 3 fans, but they can be removed if you're not using near full PoE load)
• single built in PSU
• fans can be modified/replaced to run even quieter/near silent
• Aggregate capacity: 176gbps / 132Mpps (wirespeed regardless of features enabled)
• 
  
• Datasheet
• FAQ
• Architecture Brief

Power Supplies:​

The more powerful ICX6610 has the typical dual redundant PSU hotswap bricks you're all used to. However the ICX6450 only has one built in PSU, which initially worried me (I prefer redundancy), so I opened it up and did some poking around.

It's a very nice OEM Delta brick with high quality capacitors, well-heatsunk MOSFETs, etc. It also outputs a simple 12VDC with no extra sense pins - making this very easy to modify if you want to run it off of 12 volts. (note: this is for the non-PoE version. the PoE model will have a second 54VDC output).

If you want to run the ICX6450 off of 12 volts DC, just open it up and disconnect/ splice this wire bundle out the back, and that's it! You can see them in the picture below, there's four wires, but each pair is commoned to the same PSU pins (2x black grounds and 2x 12V positive). The power supply is very efficient - you can see it pulling 1.6a at 12v (19 watts) and it was only drawing 21 watts from the wall (plus or minus a couple watts):

All right then, I'll keep an eye out for a good deal on an icx-6450-24p thanks for your input.

I was interested in getting a Ruckus AP. Any opinions or details on what may be a good model to get? From the research I've done they seem real nice.

Also thank you @fohdeesha for the great documentation and resources. I don't think I ever dropped a proper thank you even though I've been running fine for a while now.

R750 is real WiFi 6 and is excellent. R650 is also great and supports pseudo WiFi 6 and is what many people go with.

Depends on your budget and how many you need too.

 

[trauts14]

i am attempting to setup the 6450-48p, and using fohdeesha tutorial. i am using the included tftp application, yet keep getting an error that says, "recount try exceeded. please try again." can anyone tell me where i should start troubleshooting for this issue? my firewall is turned off, and antivirius is temporarily disabled.

Ah thanks. I shall read up in there.

Appreciate the info. Wouldn't be a large number of devices. Cell phones, a few laptops, etc- nothing crazy in a small home setting. Assumption being I only need a single AP.

240V. 110V is a crime.

Validate:
- your computer running tftp server is (directly) connected to the correct port on the switch (mgmt vs regular port; depends on the section your on in the tutorial)
- your computer's IP address (from Windows command line (cmd.exe) run ipconfig.exe).
- the TFTP server is pointing at the correct folder to serve files (there is a button that will list the served files)
- The computer IP is used in the correct environment variable. Try to run ping <computer IP> on the switch command line (outside of config terminal).
- The Windows firewall can be quite deceiving. Turning it off temporarily should work.
