Question about Brocade ICX6450-24P, pfsense, and licensing

[iDurr]

Hi all!

I'm interested in getting the Brocade ICX6450-24p as part of a pfsense build for my home network and have a few questions:

1. I've seen a user on here who is giving away keys for this switch, is that all legal?
2. Is this a good switch for running pfsense if I want VLANs?
3. What kind of Noctua fans would I want to get to replace the stock fans?

Thank you all in advance!

1. It's not. Call Brocade/Ruckus and pay $3,500 for the license
2. Not really. I mean...it can't run pfSense to begin with...
3. Read the huge thread about them?
