So I am having trouble with multicast requirements for VMWare vSAN. Apparently, multicast is a requirement to make that work, but it is an option which my particular switch doesn't have. If you do a SHOW TECH-SUPPORT command, look at the "Additional Packages" section. Other options are supposedly FASTPATH QOS, FASTPATH Multicast, FASTPATH IPv6, FASTPATH IPv6 Management, FASTPATH Wireless, FASTPATH Stacking, FASTPATH Metro. I only have FASTPATH Routing and FASTPATH QoS.actually just found stuff under configure# set igmp
Happy day!
I have learned that Broadcom offered two different versions of the FASTPATH software, FASTPATH-SMB and FASTPATH-ENT. Some documents also refer to the "Advanced" feature set. I am not sure if that means FASTPATH-ENT or not. So far, I have not seen any keys or information on how to upgrade from -SMB to -ENT, or to add individual features. It seems like you get one or the other. Did all LB6M switches come with the same FASTPATH feature set, or are there different switch versions?So I am having trouble with multicast requirements for VMWare vSAN.

Is there a way I can get the Multicast feature I need? Would updating the firmware version change anything (I have .14)? I have heard there is a command "license advanced <key>" to upgrade the features, but I haven't seen anywhere you could even buy a key.
Also, I am wondering if not having some of the FASTPATH feature sets are why some members have found that certain commands don't seem to work?
how is the switch doing? just wondering if those quiet fans provide enough cooling?I finally put my LB6M in production this weekend. I changed the 3 fans on the back of the unit with the Delta AFB0412LB fans. The same fans can be used in the power supply as well. Very quiet at 18.5 dBA.
Some of the specs:
Size : 40mmX40mmX15mm
RPM: 5000 RPM
Air Flow: 6.5 CFM
Noise Level: 18.5 dBA

Because these are 3 pin and not 4 pin, I can no longer get the temperature and fan speed using the "show environment" command.
Hopefully this will be helpful to others because I have gotten a lot of support on this forum.
Doing great.. Not sure how to measure the temperature now...how is the switch doing? just wondering if those quiet fans provide enough cooling?
[whmcr]This is almost exactly what I've got being done, except with a number more vlans.
The L2 Layout is the below:

I've got a number of devices off the LB6M
NAS1 - LACP with 2x DACs (FS.com 30awg DAC - Intel vedor code) to the 10GB SFP Nic on a X10SDV-4C-7TP4F
Hyp1 - LACP with 2x DACs (FS.com 30awg DAC - Intel vendor code) to a Intel x520-DA2 on a X10SDV-TLN4F
CCR - LACP with 2x DACs (FS.com 30awg DAC - Generic Vendor code) to a Mikrotik CCR1036-8g-2s+ <-- this is routing between the VLANs
CRSCAB - Static LAG with 2x DAC (FS.com 30awg DAC - Generic Vednor code) to a Mikrotik CRS226-24G-2S+RM
CRSOffice - Static LAG with 2x SFP+ (FS.com 10g 850nm SR (300m) - Generic vendor code) to a Mikrotik CRS226-24G-2S+RM
TPSW1 - Single Ethernet to TPLink SG2210P

Does anyone have an image with MultiCast enabled? I need it to support VMWare vSAN.Does anyone from you guys have a Image for the Lb6M with BGP or Stacking enabled?
Thank you. That sucks, the price on this switch is very appealing.Unfortunately, ports 25-28 are 1G copper. The other 2 are management ethernet, and then the serial console off by itself.
