Hello,
first of all.
THANK YOU
fohdeesha


AWSOME WORK you have done
I am relativly new to the brocade topic.
I got a ICX 6650 used for my tests.
So before messing up my switch I have some general questions.
I would appreciate any help, tips and advice.
I am just starting in this area. So please be patient with me, if i asking too "stupid" questions.
As i not 100% understand, are there different firmware types available?
Some of them are L3 some L2 functionallity?
The firmware given by fohdeesha in the "setup-posts" which kind is it?
I need L3 function. Is this possible with the firmware out of this post?
How i can decide which type the firmware is? Can this be seen in the names?
Before i start flashing anything at all, i would really like to backup all the existing firmware and licenses, so that it will be possible th flash it back.
Somebody could help me with a detailed howto?
Or point me to a post/link which describes this procedure exactly.
Everything i found was very general, mostly not even for brocade and the 6650.
the last question.
As i understand there seem to be always two firmware images stored in the switch.
I not really understand the reason for this. can they be different types?
And generally, how to boot firmware-image 1 or 2 ?
thanks to all in advance
Michael
