So I've been lurking and learning and decided to grab some switches for playing around and helping with my network upgrade. I got an FCX648-E with the FCX-4XG module installed for a decent price and a ICX6430-C12 mainly due to being fanless (it will be in the house near the TV, etc.) I upgraded both of them thanks to
@fohdeesha docs and tutorials. Neither seems to recognize when a transceiver is inserted, am I missing something in the setup process? I'm using Brocade 57-1000012-01 which should be 850nm mm/sr transceivers, my cables are OM3 MM
My plan was to have the FCX648 in my computer room with my unRAID server doing pfSense outputting to the FCX648 and uplinking over OM3 fiber to the ICX6430 in the main house where it can then handle VLAN/POE etc for the main house, leaving all the noisemakers in the detached office.
After a little more reading I decided to check the license record on the FCX648 and post it.
Any ideas, I'm willing to learn but a bit over my head here.
Thanks in advance
