When I plug the USB to RJ45 in to my desktop, it identifies as COM4. When I plug it into my other machine, it identifies as COM5. So the computer sees it. It is really being a hassle. I wish there was another way to test the cable and the console port.
Someone mentioned the serial connection could have been disabled. I cannot find a way to factory reset. Pressing the reset button while turning on the power doesn’t seem to work for the 6450.
Thank you all for your responses. If you have other suggestions, please keep them coming. If I cannot get to the CLI by Monday, I will assume the console port is bad and return it to the seller, but I’d rather not.
Do you have a known working device which you could use to test the adapter?When I plug the USB to RJ45 in to my desktop, it identifies as COM4.

I did not measure it but it was quieter with 2 fans installed.Could you also measure noise levels with only one fan installed?
Very truly highly unlikely. Go buy a legit cable or follow the instructions in this thread to make your own, but don't expect anything but one of those options to work. Brocade insisted on being special flowers here and that's all you can do.Today Buy a icx7250-24p with 120$ include shipping in china, seller post picture of switch seems everything is ok (power light is green ), he sold as is , so I take the risk.
now need buy rs232 to miniusb cable , will zte rs232 to miniusb cable same as Brocade?
Yeah, I know all about your hate for the 7450 ;-) Truth be told, any current or recently EOL Brocade product with the right number of ports and interface speed(s) will blow the doors off SoHo gear. Packet cut-through and intelligent QoS options are a standard feature in switches at this level.why do you want a 7450? same sound level as the 6610 with half the highspeed ports and twice as expensive
Given who one of Brocade/Ruckus/Commscope's customers is for the 7450 and how widely they've deployed them, it is very unlikely they will EOL the 7450 any time soon. The organization I work for has literally thousands of them deployed - I believe last count I saw was over 5,000 hostnames, with a fair chunk of them being stacks (so more than that for total chassis).I know the 7450 could go EOL at any time, but it still gets me 1+ year ahead of the 6610 on bug/security fixes.
Good to know. Ruckus did kill off the 32ZP, though: EoL End-of-Life Notice: Ruckus ICX 7450-32ZP and 7450-32ZP-E models | Technical Documents | Ruckus Wireless SupportGiven who one of Brocade/Ruckus/Commscope's customers is for the 7450 and how widely they've deployed them, it is very unlikely they will EOL the 7450 any time soon.

That should generally apply to any 7xxx Brocade at this point though.
Take care mate, hopefully you have a speedy recovery!hey everyone, I'm dealing with some medical issues irl so I may be out of commission/MIA for a while. I will try to get to licensing PMs when I can, if it takes a couple days don't worry, there's still some left. I'm sure members like wolfstar and infomatt will still be around to help
