Yes, I noticed that, thank you. Looking forward to having more than enough 10G ports soon, and the two 40G ports are a bonus that can be put to use. Was reading that the other two QSFP ports can be "split" so that ports on the same link can be uplink or host, which is interesting. Be nice having everything in one box. If this works out, might have to pick up another one for spare.

so does that mean the GDA4028-12BB will not work in the icx7250p? @rootwyrm , if not can you suggest a replacement fan? I read through this whole long thread and saw you say if you can find these buy them.. so I did ... (lol.... sigh...) this is just for my home lab... just trying to make it a little quieter if possible
thank you

Is there anyway to increase the thresholds of fan speeds for the ICX6450-48P? Recently, even though my temperatures are below 60 degress celcius, the fans go to mode 2 (much noisier) when it would just stay at mode 1.
My fan controlled tempature (from show chassis) is 56.5 Celcius
Speed 1 is NM<---->65 Celcius
Speed 2 is 56<---->79 Celcius
much thanks

Note that the 6610-24F model does not have any RJ45 ports except the management interface. Front panel has 24x gigabit SFP and 8x 10GbE SFP+; rear panel has 2x 40GbE QSFP and 2x 4x10GbE QSFP (breakout). Yes they are loud; there are a couple threads here on fan mods with a cheap 555 pulse generator.
Hello, I have another (quiet) Dell 5524 switch that can be used for copper lines until I can find enough (inexpensive?) 1GbE tranceivers. Going the external fan & acoustic material route for reducing 6610 noise.
Can the two 40G breakout ports be used as single 40G like the other two rear ports, or breakout / stacking only?
I got tired of hearing the fans (yes I've already replaced them with quieter ones) occasionally spin up, so I brute-forced a solution:
The fan is whatever came from my junk box. A 120mm noctua is on order. I did not disable the fans inside the chassis -- I probably should, but I did not want to take the time to bring the switch down and tear it apart, nor do I want to deal with the possible issues of the switch complaining about the original fans being removed.
My "fan speed 1" temperatures went from ~ 59-64 degrees to ~ 54 degrees.
It looks kinda silly, but it worked.

Awesome! I am recently also having my fans go from mode 1 to mode 2 more frequently, and its driving the missus mad. How did you power up the fans btw?
I think this is more of OPNsense issue and not a switch configuration issue though I'm not 100% sure.
I currently have OPNsense as my firewall with a Brocade ICX6450 using layer 3 routing. The default route is set to OPNsense and my devices have WAN access.
The issue I am having is that I cannot seem to be able to port forward an HTTP connection to an apache server. Locally I can connect to the apache server and the apache server itself is not running any firewalls. I added a port forward for ICMP and I can ping the apache serve from an external source successfully.
I believe its a TCP handshake issue, but I'm not sure what I should look at to correct it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I've noticed this myself, and if you dig deeper you'll find that the response packets will match the SNAT rule for the outbound connection if there's one defined for subnets not directly connected to any interface. I've not yet found a way to avoid this unfortunately.
Try adding an exclusion to the SNAT rule for your apache server (it wouldn't be able to connect to any host outside of your network), and test if the port forwarding works.
You did modify your NAT Outbound rules to include all subnets in your LAN, right?
I changed the Outbound rules for each 10.1.99.0/30, the subnet used between OPNSense and ICX6610, to 10.1.0.0/8 to include all my subnets.
Doing a NAT Port Forward for HTTP/Apache and any other service has been no issue on my OPNSense + L3 switch setup.

Yes, I am currently running a Hybrid outband NAT which has a copy of the auto generated NATs but includes in the networks of each vlan.
You guys can hit www.fohdeesha.com right? That's behind an l3 subnet on an icx with a transit vlan to pfsense, with a port forward. Haven't had any issues
Yes I am able to access it.
Not sure what configuration I have setup incorrectly that would allow me to ping the webserver but wont allow web traffic. I have no drops/rejects in the firewall.
I'm an idiot and was half asleep when I posted that, I meant home.fohdeesha.com
The main site is in Colo in Chicago so I would really hope it worked lmao

Does the webserver itself (like Windows/IIS) have a firewall that could be blocking port 80? (port 80 is blocked by default on a lot of things).
