We had two separate tickets resulting an ICX6650 upgrade to 8.0.3e and it took about three weeks to duplicate the (<u>very</u> straightforward!) bugs and then another week to assign a defect number. Both of those were affected by limited lab access/resources. I’m now on my fourth ICX ticket of the year, and it’s also not moving very quickly – just more and more questions each time, and now the case owner is asking for a few days to get feedback from dev.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Frank<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> foundry-nsp [mailto:foundry-nsp-bounces@puck.nether.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>André Grüneberg<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, February 24, 2016 9:54 AM<br><b>To:</b> Robert Hass <robhass@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> foundry-nsp@puck.nether.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [f-nsp] Experiences with Brocade TAC -> ICX products<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi Rob,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>My experience with Brocade support is rather positive.
