Hi guys,
I need some advice, I came across this interesting Youtube video about 10GB peer-to-peer networking
I am very new to the world of SFP+ networking, definitely a beginner here.
Yes, these cards are like dinosaurs, but are they worth buying in 2023-2024, as they are affordable to buy in my local market?
Here are my questions:
1) I know the card is very old, and the company: Mellanox had acquired by Nvidia.
Are the drivers already build-in into Linux distros which is based on Debian family including Promox Hypervisor?
How about Windows 11, pfSense or they have deprecated them?
2) Is the card backward compatible? Like, can I hook it up to SFP+ DAC cable from the card to a 2.5Gbps SFP+ switch?
Thank you.
