Man where do you see the 7 series stuff that cheap? Or is it a specific 7 series (like, IDK, a 12 port non-POE 7150 or something)?

eBay has 7250-24P for $70, free delivery.

7250s and 7450s are now EOL. I also see 7450-48P for $69 but it doesn't have the front expansion bay populated. But it has 2 PSUs and 2 40G installed in its rear expansion slots. The 40G module can only be installed in the rear slots on the 32- and 48-port switches while it can also be installed in the front slot of the 24-port switches. On all 7450s the 40G can't be broken out.

I've got an odd issue with my 7150-C12P.
Its directly connected to a Chelsio T420-CR (in a proxmox host) via a pair of Avago AFBR-709SMZ-HP1 transceivers and an LC duplex OM3 cable.
Both the ICX and the Chelsio can see there is a transceiver installed.
The Chelsio can see laser power received at about the same power level it is transmitting at.
Neither device is reporting an active link.
The switch config for the ports is as follows:
The Chelsio side ALSO has the speed/duplex manually set to avoid any auto-negotiation issues.
This problem also occurs with a DAC and is on both ports.
Any ideas on what thread to pull on?

I'm upgrading my home lab network and I'm working on an ICX7150 first. Following along the steps in the Fohdeesha Docs page everything is working great until "Load the Latest UFI Image." When I execute the "copy tftp flash 192.168.1.xx ICX7xxx/SPR08095qufi.bin primary" command, the TFTP server shows that it is in a loop getting multiple requests, but no bytes get sent. Obviously the file transfer worked in a previous step. I can ping the switch from the TFTP server and can ping the TFTP server from the switch. I did move the Ethernet cable over to a few different regular switch ports before attempting this. I also tried rebooting the router, and I still get the endless loop of transfer attempts.
Any suggestions on what I need to change? I did this with the firewall disabled on my TFTP Windows PC and used the correct IP in the command.

Instead of TFTP server you could use an USB flash drive.
The flash command then will look like this:
copy disk0 flash SPR09010j_cd7ufi.bin primaryMight be better to start a separate thread, as this thread is about ICX devices.
Have you guys read or heard about this Ruckus/Commscope/Brocade Critical Unpatched Vulnerabilities?
What's the latest update? Have you guys heard from Ruckus if they are releasing a patch yet?
This is very concerning that no fix for over 7 months!

I am trying to locate information regarding fan modifications for the 7150-48zp. I believe I had seen it before, but can't seem to locate the information again.
This switch gets hot even with 1x orignal fan & psu. I believe if you get it to "acceptable" noise levels you will fry the system in no time...
Hmm.... That's a bit disappointing. I have 2xPSU and 2xFANs. I bought it to replace my 6610-48P. I have 3 x 7150-C12P and I wanted to get a little more updated firmware that's available on the 48ZP. It's menial, but I'm kinda sick of dealing with "dual-mode" on one switch and then the 7150 units having the more normal untagged/tagged nomenclature.
The 6610-48P fans will kick into high mode during the summer about once every 30-60mins for about 30 seconds. The "normal" operating fan speed/noise is just fine for me. They're all in a "server" closet, so the small amount of noise is ok.
If you need "just" 48 ports and can live with 30w poe per port there are other models from the 7 series
7150-48p: 1gbe, 12x 30watt per port, rest 15w per port
7250-48p: 1gbe, 24x 30watt per port, rest 15w per port
7450-48p: 1gbe, 8x 90watt per port, 40x 30watt per port (required both psus)
The 7150-48ZP is a beast (in terms of heat & noise) becuase of the 16x 90watt 2.5Gbe ports ._.
I've got it, so I guess we will see what happens. Out of curiosity, I'll see what temps the 6610 is running at during summer temps and when the fans kick on and I'll throw the zp in there and see what it runs at, granted I won't have the networking hooked up to it.
I have quite a few vlans and specific things setup on the 6610, so it's not exactly a quick switch and see. About 10-15 POE devices and close to 40 ports in use.

For anyone curious. In this data the 6610 is running with everything hooked up. The 7150 is powered on in the same room. Once I make the switch I'll post up the fully operational temp of the 7150. It may be a bit before I have the time it'll take to get the new switch setup.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic - have any of you found an easy way to integrate an ICX switch into a HomeAssistant instance?
I'm running a 7250, and I'd like to pull the device info to HA (temperature, fans, etc). Having control would be great, but even just passive data would be nice.
HA has a Ruckus device plugin, but it seems explicitly for the Access Points (which I do have and have integrated the switch with) - but it doesn't expose any switch information through it, just the APs.
Still running an 8.0.95x-series firmware, if that matters.

HASS has a SNMP platform that should work for both sensors and controls (assuming you have the permissions and OIDs set up correctly). I use it to pull temperature from one of my switches:
Code:
sensor:
- platform: snmp
host: 10.1.100.254
baseoid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.1.1.18.0
unit_of_measurement: "..C"
name: ICX-6450 Temperature
value_template: '{{value | float / 2}}'ooooh nice, this looks like it has a lot of potential! I'll have to check that out
Just curious, what's the consensus on running on firmware 9.x as opposed to 8.x?
What is the best way to backup the switch configs?

Hi all, been lurking for months just reading bits and pieces but now I've registered to post for help. I'll try to include relevant info and stay brief.
tldr; Tried fan swap, back to original fan but getting "at least one good FRU fan should be present" and can't make the switch boot normal anymore.
Have a 7250-24p and wanted to quiet it down. Bought two Delta EFB0412VHD-F00 fans since I found a post where someone said they were real nice cfm/dbA.
Unfortunately, I didn't check the pin layout first when replacing. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to only try one fan. I do not think it works anymore, trying it with a 12v input outside the switch. Oh well. Found a guide for the right layout, changed the connector on the 2nd fan, and it spins!
And now after the initial full speed burst after boot, it stops when supplied the lower voltage and gives the following message:
Except now, I'm getting that error with the stock fans, and its constantly bootlooping. The summer heat and stress got to me and I tried to use a shopvac to spin the fan manually to try and get past the boot sequence but that didn't work either.
Where do I go from here? Could I have messed something up with not switching the fan pins first? Thanks in advance for any help.
Separately, wanting to contribute because I didn't see anyone do what I did.. for the console cable I used a Micro-USB spliced into the back of a patch panel, where I then used a USB to RJ45 console cable (this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075V1RGQK) from my PC to the patch panel . Here is a picture of the back of the patch panel.

Damn. And of course if I read more thoroughly others have mentioned this with the 7250's. Oh well, time to put stock fans in and try again with a different fan later or something.
