I bought an ICX6450 too; the learning curve is indeed pretty steep and getting the 10Gb ports enabled.. well I got the licenses sorted but the ports still don't work and remain dark no matter what I try.

I'm thinking of switching to something less advanced, there just isn't a ton of great information I could find to get things sorted with the ICX.

I'm competent enough to setup pfSense, but this Brocade switch has become a pain in the neck! Recently after a power outage, the switch doesn't even work right anymore and I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting it.

Curious what others are using for 10Gb at home? I'm all ears and will be grateful if you have recommendations.
