s/averted/postponed/ :-) I've had all sorts of bizarre issues with XG optics in FI-SX's - the 2XG management modules, linking to various other bits of Foundry kit. We've had link but no traffic; link but some traffic; no link lights but UP reported in show int.. Also recently had a problem where the management card CPU load was being driven up by ... wait for it ... a high number of spurious interrupts from the PSUs! Took 'em a long time to find that one. They're quality switches, to be sure! Brocade have our PSUs in for analysis at the moment. Thankfully we limit our use of FI-SX switches around the network. I'm interested to know how many other people are closely monitoring their Foundry/Brocade switches, and possibly seeing occasional various oddities. Do you monitor and graph your CPU load, memory usage, error rates, and so on? Do you watch and analyse your syslogs and snmp traps? (I should point out that the network I'm working on comprises mainly RX-4 to -16 switches, with a few SXs doing some of the edge work.)
