Conclusion

The Ruckus ICX switch can be used in VLAN’s managed environment. In VMware environments, you can connect to the SAN via the 10GB port of the ICX switch. The switch can be managed through the GUI management port. Combining with the original RUCKUS ICX 7150 Ethernet switch and low price 3rd party compatible 1G/10G/40G transceiver or direct attach cables, they are recommended as the bang L2 and L3 switches in the market, and by a large margin. All transceivers, AOCs, and DACs listed in this article are manufactured by industry standards and the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement), which is nothing different from the brand-named transceivers but for the price. You could order them with high quality and 100% compatibility at an affordable price from Optcore, and save your money on overpriced optics.
