Brocade

There can be some situations where you need to create a redundant link between two switches/routers (f.e. between a Cisco and a Brocade device) where you are not able to use STP which takes care of a loop-free configuration and failover handling. Cisco has this nice little feature

Some time ago I had troubles with the backspace key while configuring a Brocade device. It did not do anything. The problem is, that my terminal (Konsole) does not send "Ctrl-H", but the Brocade terminal expects it to delete a character before the cursor. To solve this problem,

We recently got some brand new Brocade ICX 6650 Router. During bootup, you see the following messages on the Serial console: U-Boot 2011.09 (Aug 17 2012 - 17:40:23) CPU: 8544E, Version: 2.1, (0x803c0121) Core: E500, Version: 2.3, (0x80210023) Clock Configuration: CPU0:800 MHz, CCB:400
