Brocade ICX 64XX network switch notes

The Brocade ICX 6430-24 is a 24 port plus four SPF (1gb) ports

The Brocade ICX 6450-224 is a 24 port plus four SPF+ (10gb) ports (albeit, only two 10gb ports are licensed from the factory)

The "p" at the end of the model means POE. The CLI is very close to Cisco's.

My re-setup notes:

Serial console cable into the switch, hit the reset button, during the boot process tap the "b" key a bunch of times to get to the boot loader.  Once there type: "no password", this disables the password for the next boot.  Then type "boot", and the switch will boot.  Once it boots:

enable

erase startup-config

reload

enable

config terminal

username admin privilege 0 password password

ip dhcp-client enable

crypto-ssl certificate generate

aaa authentication login default local

aaa authentication web-server default local

web-management https

wr mem

To set a static IP:

ip dhcp-client disable

vlan 1

router-interface ve 1

exit

interface ve 1

ip address 192.168.1.55/24

exit

write mem

As noted earlier, licencing.......the person in the above link has a way to re-write the serial number, and apply a license key.   FWIW this hardware is well over 10 years old, and Brocade has chosen to ignore this legacy hardware, as it is all End Of Life and End Of Support.
