Thank you - I will give that a try. If I upgrade my switch after backing up the running config - does it keep my info? Meaning will my running config from my 7250 firmware 08.0.80eT213 backup be accepted on the newer 7250 firmware - ?

Yes, and it may even be modified during the upgrade process if changes are required. The upgrade guides for each firmware release will tell you about those things.
Just wanted to say i did the upgrade, ran the restore command & i think everything is working perfectly again!
Not really sure how to see if something didnt transfer over but so far so good!
This worked out well for me I have one more switch to do. Just a note to others - after you upgrade, then restore your config - DO NOT - wr mem after or you could spend an extra hour reflashing everything multiple times.......
Also curious - can these upgrades be done via usb drive using the disk0?

similar to:
I had some network issues due to some usb-c nic card. My last switch is in a shed with a harder upgrade due to 1 cat6 wire.
Thanks,
Rich

#Temp IP address of the switch:
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.50

setenv serverip 192.168.1.8

erase flash secondary
reload

Tinkered a bit. PSUs are Rev A. People say Rev C is better but Rev A is not even the loudest fan in the switch atm (edit: not 100% sure about this).
show pid-prom:
Date of manufacture at CM: 10/24/18
Tried removing 1X40GQ = saves 1W~ per module, not worth it.
Powering up second PSU added 7W~
Just realized it could make more sense to source ICX7400-4X10GC instead of using fs.com 100€+ adapters. Haven't yet found detailed specs about it. Would need 100m over Cat6.
fs.com DAC didn't work between ConnectX-3 Pro and 1X40GQ (reading back, I'm not the only one with this problem). OTOH Juniper JNP-QSFP-40G-LX4 worked great.

Hey all, I could really use some help setting up ACL's. I've been trying to find posts, documentation and guides but I really just don't quite get how this works. Very much an amateur with more advanced networking stuff.
Currently my network config is:
- Home_Main 192.168.0.1/24 (Default VLAN 1)
- Home_IoT 192.168.100.1/24 (VLAN 100)
What I want to achieve is:
- Devices on Home_IoT blocked from accessing any device on Home_Main except 192.168.0.50 (any port). Everything on Home_Main should have access to everything on Home_IoT however.
I'd much appreciate any help in setting this up.

This post may point you in the right direction
Hi, I have a weird issue with an ICX6610-48P, I gave it an IP and a default gateway. Most of the time it responds to pings from beyond the gateway, but at some random interval it will not accept traffic. If you are on the same subnet with it, you don't see this problem. I have other devices in that same subnet that do not experience this problem.
ICX6610 ------- Gateway -------- Computer -> Random Drops
ICX6610 ------- Computer -> No Drops
Has anyone experienced this before ? Thanks for any and all suggestions
EDIT: So I configured OSPF on the 6610 and started feeding it routes from my gateway and this problem seems to have disappeared. I'm glad the problem is gone, just uneasy as to what it might have been.
Update: As it turns out, if you have two devices with the same IP, this is less than optimal. It's almost always the easy stuff that gets us.

guide updated from 8095k to the latest 8095, 08095m. Thought I did this months ago but I guess not. all icx7xxx documentation updated to match as well
And again the guide saved my butt 
(I got about three weeks ago a new integrated router from my isp and it came with dhcp enabled and caused a lot of trouble becuase it was using another network address and the lease was for 3 weeks... I wanted to assign static ip addresses to my "fixed" hosts/devices and accidentally deleted the ip address on the ve 1 interface on my 6450 and it "disappeared")

)I have an ICX 7250 running 08095m. Is there any way to specify the LAG load balancing type?
I have a Cisco 1852i AP (I know I'm asking for trouble) I'm trying to LAG to the 7250. Cisco docs state to use method "src-dst-port" and that "If one doesn't configure L4 port load balancing (for example when using a switch model which does not support this feature) then the port channel will still come up but all the traffic will go through the same port. One will not have 2 gigabits of speed but there will be redundancy."
On the Ruckus docs it does speak to LAG Load Sharing but I cannot see any way to specify it explicitly. I haven't done any testing to see if it's balancing yet but when running "show ap config general" I see the following:
AP LAG Configuration Status ..................... Disabled
LAG Support for AP .............................. Yes
edit: that above said -- traffic is definitely passing through both interfaces after some testing. Not sure if it's capable of >1 Gbps but we'll see.

Are the breakouts on a 6610 1/2/2-1/2/5 able to be configured back to a single 40G link? I'd prefer that over an LACP connection.
I have an icx 6610, followed the directions, everything seems to have installed fine. When I go to boot, it keeps ending with "Process [1] stopped by sds monitor. Any suggestions on how to fix?
Anyone have any ideas about the ESD issue? Been eyeing the Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM as a possible replacement for the lower noise, lower power usage, and due to the perception of lack of reliability in the Brocade (my other switch is currently full because I've tried to keep as much as possible off the Brocade due to this issue), but that's an expensive pill to swallow.
It appears you have a ground potential difference that's causing you problems. If both ends are on a different circuit that could be why. But it looks like the 6450 doesn't have any ground posts at its rear/sides. If you're not using any ears then you can try bonding the switch to your rack (somehow) or try replacing your cables with non-shielded variety. First, use a ground tester to see receptacles for your switch and the equipment on the other end of that shielded cable are properly grounded. If the other end is connected to a switch that has no ground plug then look for a grounding screw and bond that to ground. Even Netgear consumer switches have these ground posts, which is why I'm surprised the 6450 doesn't.
Shielded configurations are challenging and that's why people don't recommend them unless they understand how to deploy them.
Thank you for the response. This switch is not connected to anything outside of my rack, and everything within it is connected to the same PDU. It was purely from static electricity (I live in a dry area) from me. I've had other times where it seemed like just touching the front of the switch around where the cables are (disconnecting an un-shielded cable) would do the same thing. Internally, is the chassis not grounded to the ground of the power cable coming into it? I would think ESD would go out that, but not very familiar with how that works.
