[US-OH] [WTB] ICX7400-4X10GF

[omegadraconis]

Hello all,
Recently acquired an icx7450-24 and didn't do enough research to realize I couldn't use a QSFP to 4xsfp+ breakout cable in the rear 40gbps ports until after I plugged one in. Hoping someone might have an 4x10gbe sfp+ module for an icx 7450 laying around that they want to part with for cheap, ebay was a bit high at $75 each.

weird . it should work . if you do

config t
store-and-forward
breakout ethernet 1/2/*
wr mem
exit
reload

it won't work?

Nope. ICX7450 doesn't support breakout. See Commscope Technical Content Portal

ICX7450-24P Router(config)#store-and-forward
Invalid input -> store-and-forward
Type ? for a list
ICX7450-24P Router(config)#breakout ?
Unrecognized command
ICX7450-24P Router(config)#breakout ethernet 1/2/*

Yep, the breakout command is unfortunately not available. Even more frustrating is that the client side links at 10gb but, cycles up and down about ever 2 seconds. This makes me think the hardware may support this if the firmware would allow breakout..

It seems like there is an abundance of 1x40G modules, but the 4x10G SFP+ modules are much rarer, not to speak about the 4x10G copper modules...

$75 is a good price.

Every switch has at least one, I assumed most of the stock came from resellers stripping them out of switches and if that's the case I would expect them to be cheaper. Although is they are only old stock replacements being sold off then I understand why seller would list at $75.

I am waiting on one to arrive that a seller accepted $45 on, which I think is a bit more reasonable.
