Ports-on-Demand licensing  
1
Ports-on-Demand licensing  
The Brocade ICX 6650 device features Ports-on-Demand licensing. With Ports-on-Demand  
licensing, software features do not require licenses and you can add port licenses as needed.  
A fully populated device supports 56 front-panel, dual-speed 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports, 4 rear panel 40  
GbE QSFP+ ports, and 2 rear panel 4x10 GbE QSFP+ breakout ports.  
You can purchase and install Ports-on-Demand licenses in blocks of eight dual-speed 1/10 GbE  
SFP+ front-panel ports. These ports are sequential, enabling ports 33 through 40, 41 through 48,  
and 49 through 56. To enable additional front-panel ports requires purchasing and installing an  
ICX6650-8P10G-LIC-POD license. When you purchase the license, you specify 8, 16, or 24 port  
capacity so you purchase only the number of ports that you need. Figure 3 shows the front-panel  
ports.

Installation and safety considerations  
2
Installation and safety considerations  
You can install the Brocade ICX 6650 in the following ways:  
As a standalone unit on a flat surface.  
In an EIA cabinet using a fixed-rail rack mount kit. The optional fixed-rail rack mount kit can be  
•
•
ordered from your switch retailer. Both the 24”-28” rack depth kit and the 28”-32” rack depth  
kit will work with the ICX 6650 device.  
•
•
In a 2-post Telco rack using a flush mount rack kit. The optional flush mount rack kit for  
switches can be ordered from your switch retailer.  
In a 2-post Telco rack using a mid-mount rack kit. The optional mid-mount rack kit for switches  
can be ordered from your switch retailer.  
Electrical considerations  
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure compliance with the following requirements:  
•
•
•
The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in  
accordance with local electrical codes.  
The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating  
on the switch nameplate.  
The power supply standards are met.  
Environmental considerations  
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental  
requirements are met:  
•
Because the Brocade ICX 6650 can be ordered with fans that move air either front to back or  
back to front, be sure to orient your switch with the airflow pattern of any other devices in the  
rack. All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust  
air.  
•
The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40C (104F) while the switch is operating.  
Location Considerations  
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and  
equipment. Devices can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be  
sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.  
The site should meet the following requirements:  
•
•
•
•
Maintain the operating environment as specified in the section “Environmental  
considerations” on page 45.  
Allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or  
other obstructions for proper air flow.  
Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic,  
and power cabling.  
Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices.

Installation and safety considerations  
2
•
•
Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.  
Allow for twisted-pair cable to be always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting  
fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.  
•
Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to  
240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.6 feet) of each device, and is powered from an  
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is  
recommended.  
•
•
Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your  
environment. Consult your fan and power supply module FRU kit to determine the correct  
configuration.  
For a 4-post rail mount configuration, order the appropriate mounting kit and refer to the kit  
documentation.  
Cabinet considerations  
For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure the following cabinet  
requirements are met:  
•
•
The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.  
The equipment in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection and  
maintains ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such  
as a power strip.  
•
•
•
Airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is  
installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.  
The additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance  
the cabinet in any way.  
The cabinet is secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an  
earthquake.  
Recommendations for cable management  
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways; for example, use cable channels on the  
sides of the cabinet or patch panels to reduce the potential for tangling the cables. The following  
list provides some recommendations for cable management:  
NOTE  
You should not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can  
damage the optic fibers. Velcro-like wraps are recommended.  
•
•
Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.  
Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and  
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables  
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.  
•
•
For easier maintenance, label the cables and record the devices to which they are connected.  
Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.

Attaching a PC or terminal  
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a  
text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and  
through Telnet connections. The CLI is described in detail in the Brocade ICX 6650 Administration  
Guide.  
Access the CLI by connecting to the console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access  
the system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or Brocade Network Advisor.  
Use the following steps to attach a management station to the console port:  
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the console management port on the back of the ICX 6650 device  
using the mini-USB serial console port cable (Part number 50-1000059-01.  
For port pinout information for the mini-USB serial console port, see the section “Pinouts and  
signalling” on page 50.  
NOTE  
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.  
2. Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:  
•
•
•
•
•
Baud: 9600 bps  
Data bits: 8  
Parity: None  
Stop bits: 1  
Flow control: None  
The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC.  
Powering on the system  
After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.  
1. Remove the power cable from the shipping package.  
2. Attach the AC power cable to the AC connector on the rear panel.

NOTE  
The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.  
Installing an SFP+ transceiver  
To monitor the transceivers, the showmedia command output shows the transceiver information  
for all interfaces on the switch. Third party transceivers are allowed. Brocade will provide support  
for such a system but may require that a Brocade transceiver be used for troubleshooting.  
Support will not be provided if there is an issue with the third party transceiver.  
Complete the following steps to install an SFP+ transceiver.  
1. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers and the ports.  
2. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the SFP+ transceiver  
in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 13.  
3. Slide the SFP+ transceiver into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.  
NOTE  
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated edge connector on the bottom. The correct  
position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the upper row of ports is with the gold-plated edge down.  
The correct position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the lower row of ports is with the gold-plated  
edge up.

Brocade ICX 6650 slot and Ethernet port numbering  
Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and  
many show command outputs display port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed  
in stack-unit/slot number/port number format. In all Brocade ICX 6650 inputs and outputs, the  
stack-unit number is always 1.  
The ICX 6650 contains the following slots and Ethernet ports:  
•
Slot 1 is located on the front of the ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 56. Ports 1  
through 32 are 10 GbE. Ports 33 through 56 are 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports. Refer to the following  
figure.

previous figure.  
Assigning permanent passwords  
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly  
recommends assigning passwords. See the Brocade ICX 6650 Administration Guide.  
The CLI contains the following access levels:  
•
•
User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view  
some system information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.  
Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.  
You can perform tasks such as manage files on the flash module, save the system  
configuration to flash, and clear caches at this level.  
•
CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system IP address and  
configure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be  
logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.  
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:  
•
Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system  
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.  
NOTE  
You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.  
•
•
Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global  
(system-wide) parameters.  
Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read  
access.

Setting passwords  
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the  
EXEC mode:  
Brocade> enable  
2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:  
Brocade# configure terminal  
Brocade(config)#  
3. Enter the following command to set the super user password:  
Brocade(config)# enable super-user-password text  
NOTE  
You must set the super user password before you can set other types of passwords.  
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:  
Brocade(config)# enable port-config-password text  
Brocade(config)# enable read-only-password text  
NOTE  
If you forget your super user password, refer to “Recovering from a lost password” on page 21.  
Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password text  
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.  
Recovering from a lost password  
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for  
the device but the password has been lost, you can regain super user access to the device using  
the following procedure.  
NOTE  
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.  
Use the following procedure to recover from a lost password.  
1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.  
2. Reboot the device.  
3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot  
monitor mode.  
4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)

Configuring IP addresses  
3
Configuring IP addresses  
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can  
manage the system using the other management interfaces.  
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so  
on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.  
•
•
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter  
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.  
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits  
in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an  
IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.  
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example:  
255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the prefix format. See the Brocade ICX 6650  
Administration Guide.  
Devices running Layer 2 software  
Use the following procedure to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.  
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.  
Brocade> enable  
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This  
command erases the factory test configuration if still present:  
Brocade# erase startup-config  
CAUTION  
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a  
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally  
do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the  
running configuration to the startup-config file.  
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:  
Brocade# configure terminalPrivileged EXEC Level  
Brocade(config)#  
Global CONFIG Level  
4. Configure the IP addresses and mask for the switch.  
Brocade(config-if-e1000-2)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0  
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.  
Brocade(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.0.0  
NOTE  
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.  
Syntax: enable [password]  
Syntax: configure terminal

Syntax: ip default-gateway ip-addr  
Devices running Layer 3 software  
Before attaching equipment to a Brocade ICX 6650 switch, you must assign an interface IP address  
to the subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the  
first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or the Web  
management interface.  
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each port, virtual interface, and loopback  
interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the  
size of the subnet-per-interface table.  
The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.  
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.  
Brocade> enable  
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This  
command erases the factory test configuration if still present:  
Brocade# erase startup-config  
CAUTION  
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a  
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally  
do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the  
running configuration to the startup-config file.  
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:  
Brocade# configure terminalPrivileged EXEC Level  
Brocade(config)#  
Global CONFIG Level  
4. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.  
Brocade(config)# int e 1/1/1  
Brocade(config-if-e1000-2)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0  
NOTE  
You can use the syntax ip address ip-addr/mask-bits if you know the subnet mask length. In  
the above example, you could enter ip address 192.168.0.0/24.  
Syntax: enable [password]  
Syntax: configure terminal  
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask [secondary]

Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits [secondary]  
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same  
subnet on the interface.  
Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software  
This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.  
Configuring IP addresses  
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 switch interfaces:  
•
•
•
Ethernet port  
Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or “VE”)  
Loopback interface  
By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number  
to 128 IP addresses.  
NOTE  
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface  
parameters on individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the  
virtual routing interface itself.  
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so  
on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.  
•
•
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter  
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.  
To enter a prefix network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask  
immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address  
that has a network mask with 24 significant bits (ones).  
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example:  
255.255.255.0). You can change the display to prefix format.  
Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port  
Enter the following commands to assign an IP address to port 1/1/1.  
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1  
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0  
NOTE  
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows:  
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# ip address 192.168.0.0/24  
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask  
or  
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits

Configuring IP addresses  
3
Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface  
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add  
stability to the network because they are not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to  
unstable links between a Layer 3 Switch and other devices. You can configure up to four loopback  
interfaces on a Layer 3 switch.  
You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.  
NOTE  
If you configure the device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you  
must also configure a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that  
loopback interface to communicate with the Brocade switch.  
To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:  
Brocade(config)# int loopback 1  
Brocade(config-lbif-1)# ip address 192.168.0.0/24  
Syntax: interface loopback num  
The num parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 to the maximum  
number of virtual interfaces supported on the device. To display the maximum number of virtual  
interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values command. The maximum is  
listed in the System Parameters section, in the Current column of the virtual-interface row.  
Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface  
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a  
Layer 3 switch. You can configure routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3  
switch to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other, without using an external router.  
This section describes how to configure an IP address on a virtual interface.  
NOTE  
The switch uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the  
MAC address for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.  
Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP  
address on the interface.  
Brocade(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.1/24  
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4  
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1  
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1  
Brocade(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24  
The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN name  
“IP-Subnet_1.1.2.1/24” and add a range of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface  
command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two commands  
change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the  
interface.  
Syntax: router-interface ve num  
Syntax: interface ve num

Deleting an IP address  
Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.  
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1  
This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.  
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command:  
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *  
Syntax: no ip address ip-addr | *  
Connecting network devices  
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other  
Brocade devices.  
Connectors  
For port pinouts, refer to “Pinouts and signalling” on page 50.  
Connecting a network device to a fiber port  
For direct attachment from the device to a Gbps NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber optic  
transceiver, you will need fiber cabling with an LC connector.  
For information about transceivers supported on ICX 6650 devices, refer to the following Brocade  
website:  
http://www.myBrocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/Optics_  
DS.pdf  
To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following tasks:  
•
•
Install a fiber optic transceiver (SFP, or SFP+)  
Cable the fiber optic transceiver  
The following sections describe these tasks.

Installing a transceiver  
You can install a new transceiver in an SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running.  
While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.  
NOTE  
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.  
CAUTION  
All fiber optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.  
Use the following steps to install a transceiver:  
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface  
(such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.  
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.  
3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to  
prevent incorrect insertion.  
Cabling a fiber optic transceiver  
Use the following steps to cable a fiber optic transceiver.  
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for  
future use.  
2. Before cabling a fiber optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable  
connectors and the port connectors. For more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber optic  
connectors” on page 27.  
3. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the  
transceiver connector until the tabs lock into place.  
4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning  
properly. For more information about the LED indicators, refer to “LED activity interpretation”  
on page 29.  
Cleaning the fiber optic connectors  
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+)  
and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time  
you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems  
such as reducing the optic launch power.  
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber optic reel-type cleaner.  
When not using an SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

Syntax: ping ip addr [source ip addr] [count num] [timeout msec] [ttl num] [verify] [no-fragment]  
[quiet] [data 1-to-4 byte hex#, e.g. abcdef00] [numeric] [size byte] [brief [max-print-per-sec  
num 0-2047]]  
NOTE  
If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses.  
If a problem persists after taking these actions, contact Brocade Technical Support.  
Tracing a route  
To determine the path through which a Brocade device can reach another device, enter a  
command similar to the following at any level of the CLI on the device.  
Brocade# traceroute 192.168.0.0  
Syntax: traceroute host-ip-addr [maxttl value] [minttl value] [numeric] [timeout value]  
[source-ip ip addr]  
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received.  
Traceroute requests display all responses to a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost  
routes to the destination, the Brocade device displays up to two responses by default.  
Troubleshooting network connections  
•
For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the device and the connected  
device) are snug.  
•
•
Verify that the device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.  
Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:  
•
•
For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.  
For fiber optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the  
receive port on the connected device, and that the receive port on the device is connected  
to the transmit port on the connected device.  
•
•
Use the CLI to verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. If you  
have configured an IP address on the device, you also can use the Web management interface  
or IronView Network Manager.  
If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

LED activity interpretation  
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.  
There are three possible LED states: off (no light), a steady light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights  
may be slow, fast, or flickering. The LED colors are either green or amber.  
Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is  
normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot  
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.  
Brocade ICX 6650 front panel LEDs  
The Brocade ICX 6650 has the following LEDs on the front panel:  
•
•
•
Two Power Supply Unit (PSU) bicolor status LEDs (green and amber) labeled PSU1 and PSU2.  
One DIAG LED bicolor status LED (green and amber).  
Four 1x40 GbE QSFP port status LEDs (blue) which indicate the status of the 40 GbE ports  
located on the rear panel.  
•
•
Eight 4x10 GbE QSFP-to-SFP breakout port status LEDs (green) which indicate the status of the  
4x10 GbE breakout ports located on the rear panel.  
56 10 GbE bicolor status LEDs (green for 10 GbE and amber for 1 GbE) which indicate 1/10

Brocade ICX 6650 maintenance  
The ICX 6650 is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular  
physical maintenance. Supported transceivers and diagnostic tests are described in the following  
sections.  
Diagnostic tests and monitoring  
Brocade Network OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware. System  
diagnostic software is designed to fulfill the purpose of off-line diagnostics. In off-line diagnostics,  
you have to turn ON/OFF the diagnostic flags to execute diagnostic tests during the next boot-up.  
The CLI commands for system diagnostic tests are dm diag and dm alt-diag. These diagnostic tests  
verify all available hardware components including:  
•
•
•
•
•
I2C devices  
EEPROMS  
CPU packet  
Test MAC alignment  
Line rate  
During system diagnostic testing, the system is completely under the control of the diagnostic  
software. All hardware components are verified, and results are displayed on the console. In cases  
where a failure is detected, results and corrective actions will be displayed. After the system  
diagnostic testing is complete, the system exits from the diagnostic mode and reloads the system  
for normal operation.  
System diagnostic testing runs at link speeds 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps (QSFP ports) depending on the  
speed of the link being tested and the type of port.

Managing temperature settings  
The device contains temperature sensors that the software reads based on a configurable device  
poll time. To protect the device from overheating, the following temperature threshold levels exist:  
•
•
The warning level is the temperature at which the device generates a Syslog message and  
SNMP trap. It is configurable.  
The shutdown level is the temperature at which the device reboots. It is set by the device and is  
not configurable.  
The fan speed settings are set by the device, and are not configurable.

Displaying Syslog messages for temperature  
The software sends a Syslog message and an SNMP trap if the temperature crosses the warning or  
shutdown thresholds. The following methods describe how to view the system log on the device. If  
you have configured the device to use a Syslog server or SNMP trap receiver, see the  
documentation for the server or receiver.  
To display the system log, enter the show log command at any CLI level.  
Brocade# show log  
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)  
Buffer logging: level ACDMEINW, 8 messages logged  
level code: A=alert C=critical D=debugging M=emergency E=error  
I=informational N=notification W=warning  
Static Log Buffer:  
Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):  
at 0 days 0 hours 2 minutes 0 seconds, level alert  
Temperature 48.0 C degrees, warning level 45.0 C degrees, shutdown level 55.0 C  
degrees  
at 0 days 0 hours 1 minutes 0 seconds, level alert  
Temperature 40.0 C degrees, warning level 35.0 C degrees, shutdown level 45.0 C  
degrees  
Changing the temperature warning level  
To change the temperature at which the device sends a Syslog message and an SNMP trap, enter a  
command similar to the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:  
Brocade# temperature warn 85  
Syntax: temperature warn value  
The value is the temperature warning level, in Celsius degrees. You cannot set this level higher than  
the temperature shutdown level, which is automatically set by the device.  
If you change the device hardware configuration (for example, by adding a fan tray), the device may  
change the temperature shutdown level the next time it boots. This can result in the temperature  
warning level being higher than the temperature shutdown level. If this happens, a warning  
message is displayed during bootup.  
Changing the temperature poll time  
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current  
temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the  
software polls other system components.  
To change the poll time, enter a command similar to the following at the global CONFIG level:  
Brocade(config)# chassis poll-time 200  
Syntax: chassis poll-time value  
The value can be 0 – 65535.

Removing MAC address entries  
You can remove the following types of learned MAC address entries from the system MAC address  
table:  
•
•
•
•
All MAC address entries  
All MAC address entries for a specified Ethernet port  
All MAC address entries for a specified VLAN  
A specified MAC address entry in all VLANs  
For example, to remove entries for the MAC address 00.00.00 in all VLANs, enter the following  
command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:  
Brocade# clear mac-address 00.00.00  
Syntax: clear mac-address mac-address | ethernet port-num | vlan number  
If you enter the clear mac-address command without any parameters, the software removes all  
MAC entries.  
Use the mac-address parameter to remove a specified MAC address from all VLANs. Specify the  
MAC address in the following format: HHHH.HHHH.HHHH.  
Use the ethernet port-num parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specified Ethernet port.  
Use the vlan number parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specified VLAN.  
Displaying Brocade ICX 6650 CPU usage  
You can display the amount of the CPU in use. To do so, enter the show cpu command at any level  
of the CLI:  
Brocade# show cpu  
31 percent busy, from 3248 sec ago  
1

Removing a copper or fiber optic module  
You can remove a copper or fiber SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ transceiver from a slot while the Brocade  
ICX 6650 is powered on and running.  
While removing a copper or fiber optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that  
can be inserted in the ESD connector on the Brocade ICX 6650.  
CAUTION  
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.  
To remove a copper or fiber optic module from an SFP slot, do the following.  
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface  
(such as an equipment rack).  
2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.  
3. Unlock the copper or fiber optic module by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front  
panel of the module.  
On 1000BaseSX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000BaseLX ports,  
the bail latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.

page 34.  
Cleaning the fiber optic connectors  
For instructions on cleaning a fiber optic module refer to “Cleaning the fiber optic connectors” on  
page 35.  
FRU removal and replacement procedures  
The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Brocade ICX 6650 can be removed and replaced without  
special tools. The switches can continue operating during the FRU replacement if the conditions  
specified in these procedures are followed. This covers both the power supply unit (PSU) FRUs and  
fan FRUs.  
CAUTION  
This document describes how to change FRUs for units with either an air intake or air exhaust.  
You must replace a failed FRU with a FRU of the same type. This applies to both power supplies  
and fans. A new FRU must have the same part number (P/N) as the FRU being replaced. The  
manufacturing P/N is located on the top of the FRU.  
If a mismatched power source or fan assembly is installed by mistake, a warning is sent to the  
console. The warning messages will be similar to the following:  
•
•
For a fan mismatch: [WARNING, Brocade ICX 6650, MISMATCH in Fan Air Flow direction.  
Replace FRU with fan air flows in the same direction.  
For a power supply: [WARNING, Brocade ICX 6650, MISMATCH in PSU Air Flow direction.  
Replace PSU with air flows in the same direction

You can use external labels as a guide. The power supplies and fan assemblies are labeled with an  
airflow symbol on the faceplate to indicate whether the assembly takes in or exhausts air. The  
symbol also appears on the top of the FRU. All FRUs in a chassis must have the same label affixed  
so that airflow direction is consistent. Figure 18 illustrates examples of the airflow labels.  
E
AIRFLOW  
AIRFLOW  
FIGURE 18 Examples of airflow symbols  
The green E symbol indicates an exhaust FRU. This unit pulls air in from the front of the switch and  
exhausts it out the rear side. This is called front-to-back airflow or forward airflow.  
The orange I symbol indicates an intake FRU. This unit pulls air in from the rear side of the switch  
and exhausts it out the front side. This is called back-to-front airflow or reverse airflow.  
The show chas command displays a device’s airflow direction: Front-to-Back or Back-to-Front.  
Replacing a power supply unit  
CAUTION  
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.  
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be  
running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not  
be connected to a power source.)  
CAUTION  
For the Brocade ICX 6650 devices, be sure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit  
matches that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies and fan trays are clearly labeled with  
either a green arrow with an “E”, or an orange arrow with an “I.”  
ATTENTION  
Maintain all power supply and fan assemblies in operational condition to provide redundancy.  
CAUTION  
Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the power supply and  
fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a power supply  
or fan assembly fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced.

7. Remove the power supply from the chassis by pulling the handle on the power supply out and  
away from the chassis.  
8. Holding the power supply level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all  
the way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.  
9. When you are sure the power supply has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer  
screws to secure the power supply in the slot.  
10. Plug the power cord into the power supply to power on the unit.  
The power supply will immediately attempt to power up.  
11. Verify that the LED on the new power supply displays steady green while the Brocade ICX 6650  
is operating (see Table 2). If the LED is not steady green, ensure that the power supply is  
securely installed and seated properly.  
You can enter the show chassis command at the command line prompt to display power supply  
status.  
CAUTION  
Do not force the installation. If the power supply does not slide in easily, ensure that the power  
supply is correctly oriented before continuing.  
Replacing fan trays  
CAUTION  
For the Brocade ICX 6650 devices, be sure that the airflow direction of the fan tray matches that  
of the installed power supply unit. The power supplies and fan trays are clearly labeled with either  
a green arrow with an “E”, or an orange arrow with an “I.”  
The Brocade ICX 6650 includes two redundant, hot-swappable fan units.  
ATTENTION  
Maintain all power supply and fan assemblies in operational condition to provide redundancy.  
CAUTION  
Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the power supply and  
fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a power supply  
or fan assembly fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced.

Cautions  
C
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current  
CAUTION  
protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere  
(amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total  
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on  
the devices near the input power connectors.  
Stromkreise, Verdrahtung und Überlastschutz dürfen nicht durch das Gerät überbelastet  
werden. Addieren Sie die Nennstromleistung (in Ampere) aller Geräte, die am selben  
Stromkreis wie das Gerät installiert sind. Somit können Sie feststellen, ob die Gefahr  
einer Überbelastung der Versorgungsstromkreise vorliegt. Vergleichen Sie diese Summe  
mit der Nennstromgrenze des Stromkreises. Die Höchstnennströme (in Ampere) stehen  
normalerweise auf der Geräterückseite neben den Eingangsstromanschlüssen.  
VORSICHT  
Assurez-vous que le dispositif ne risque pas de surcharger les circuits d'alimentation, le  
câblage et la protection de surintensité. Pour déterminer le risque de surcharge des  
circuits d'alimentation, additionnez l'intensité nominale (ampères) de tous les dispositifs  
installés sur le même circuit que le dispositif en question. Comparez alors ce total avec la  
limite de charge du circuit. L'intensité nominale maximum en ampères est généralement  
imprimée sur chaque dispositif près des connecteurs d'entrée d'alimentation.  
MISE EN GARDE  
PRECAUCIÓN  
Verifique que el instrumento no sobrecargue los circuitos de corriente, el cableado y la  
protección para sobrecargas. Para determinar la posibilidad de sobrecarga en los  
circuitos de suministros, añada las capacidades nominales de corriente (amp) de todos  
los instrumentos instalados en el mismo circuito que el instrumento. Compare esta suma  
con el límite nominal para el circuito. Las capacidades nominales de corriente máximas  
están generalmente impresas en los instrumentos, cerca de los conectores de corriente  
de entrada.  
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command  
on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you  
accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory  
command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.  
CAUTION  
Verwenden Sie den Befehl "Erase startup-config" (Löschen Startup-Konfig) nur für neue  
Systeme. Wenn Sie diesen Befehl in ein bereits konfiguriertes System eingeben, löscht  
der Befehl die Konfiguration. Falls Sie aus Versehen die Konfiguration eines bereits  
konfigurierten Systems löschen, geben Sie den Befehl "Write Memory" (Speicher  
schreiben) ein, um die laufende Konfiguration in der Startup-Konfig-Datei zu speichern.  
VORSICHT  
N'utilisez la commande erase startup-config que pour les nouveaux systèmes. Si vous  
entrez cette commande sur un système que vous avez déjà configuré, elle efface la  
configuration. Si vous effacez la configuration par accident sur un système configuré,  
entrez la commande write memory pour enregistrer la configuration actuelle dans le  
fichier startup-config.  
MISE EN GARDE  
PRECAUCIÓN  
Use el comando erase startup-config (borrar configuración de inicio) para sistemas
