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

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?
