Show SFP modules installed in a Brocade Ethernet switch

Determining which SFP modules you are using in your Brocade Ethernet switches is pretty straight forward.  Simply issue the following command from the CLI.

show media

This will return information similar to the following:

Port      7: Type  : 10GE SR 300m ((SFP+))

             Part# : 57-0000075-01      Serial#: xxxxxx

Virtual PC and Windows 8

If you want to run virtual machines under Windows 8 you no longer need Virtual PC.

Simply go to "Turn Windows features on or off" and enable Hyper-V.

Once that is complete you can launch Hyper-V Manager and start creating virtual machines.  One thing to note, you will have to go into Virtual Switch Manager and create a virtual switch for your virtual machines to connect to.  This is different from Virtual PC when you could just select the adapter you wanted to use.
