I agree, hence the link to the other thread.But I think we're straying off the LB4M topic...?

Thanks for the great options, my budget is like 200 max so it looks like I will just be going with the one lb4m for now. It's a shame it's not easy to roll your own 10gb linux router. I did this but I only get 700MB's throughput max. Any more performance would require lots of tweaking. This is on a poweredge 2950.I've used these before:

5524's use HDMI for stacking, and each have 2x10gbe SFP+. If you needed 4 ports, $800 USD would put you into these, and have redundant 1gbe for everything else.
It's an option. Similar to the LB4M, but with stacking that doesn't eat up the 10GbE ports.
I think I found my answer, if only I can find if this was tested to work.Hmmm, you should be able to configure LACP load balance on the Port-Channel configuration page. Thus combine 6x1Gbit ports to "one big" 6Gbit port. Your load balance mode then determines how the traffic is load balanced between the ports.
You can find it on page 743 in the manual
My problem is that i only have one of these (for now) so i cannot test it. They are indeed not stackable, but they can do link aggregation with LACP.
For a max of 4 x 10G nodes, the D-Link DGS-1510-28X is probably the cheapest option around. There's already a thread on it here.Hey guys, I'm looking for a cheap 10gb switch for home use. I tried taking my server and putting 10gb cards into it and turning it into a router but I never got the performance I wanted. Is this still the cheapest 10gb switch? Would you recommend it and at what price? I'm hooking up a power edge and 2 or 3 clients. All with SFP+ DAC 10gb NIC's
Yes they can do LAG/LACP. We run 6x1gbit between two quanta swiches atmI think I found my answer, if only I can find if this was tested to work.
Thank you, I have one on the way. Ears, Transceivers and dual PSU for $130 shipped I think. I should start looking at the manual so I don't have to post back here a million times =).Yes they can do LAG/LACP. We run 6x1gbit between two quanta swiches atm
There is no manual! The supposed LB4M pdf manual that's floating around doesn't really relate to the LB4Ms and associated firmware on eBay. The commands, features, and syntax are all different. So far I've been able to get the LB4M to do what I want with a few quirks along the way.I should start looking at the manual so I don't have to post back here a million times =).
Hi,Hi everyone. I've 2 LB4M. I would like to connect these two switch through the SFP+ port. I've a problem: when I insert the SFP+ adaptor no leds blink. I don't understand if this is a compatibility problem (AvagoAFBR-709SMZ-NA1) or I've to setup this module in the configuration settings.
Can someone help me?
Check that the ports are enabled.Hi everyone. I've 2 LB4M. I would like to connect these two switch through the SFP+ port. I've a problem: when I insert the SFP+ adaptor no leds blink.
