Alright Zevrun, you helped clarify a bit more explaining how much trust you have in the networking in your own home. Thats a big thing for me, to see how much trust or knowledge from other's own experiences. I will probably do the same thing and have one 6610-48p and run everything off that and...
At this point I don't need to experiment with it but I have VM's and two storage servers that the house and other applications run off of. I am trying to determine if stacking is worth the cost to keep these systems running. They are not for business, so it isn't money lost if they go down.
Alright I have mixed feelings on stacking and LACP at this point. I see a lot of people who talk about stacking on this thread and homelab stacking. Yes this is not a full homelab and is the main network but until I get to full homelab, I work with this. I want to at least get a 6610 series. At...
Hmm. Well I guess the only other reason to get dual psu is the fact that finding an extra isn't easy. But I still don't know which one to get and how many. I was originally going to lacp the 40G stuff but now it looks like single 40G connections is fine and single 10G connections is fine. From...
So at this point stacking the switches has redundancy built in but the main goal is more ports? I did ask before how often network cards die or ports die. the reason for that is I have done LACP mostly for redundancy more than performance so if a NIC died or a port died.
I at least want to...
Well I would like 48 ports at least but don't really need more than that. So is it better to get two 6610-24p's and stack them or get one 6610-48p? I don't use all 48 ports but I have some more wiring to do so I may surpass the 24 ports. The benefit to two 24's is I get more 10G ports and...
Now I am trying to determine if I should get a 2 6610-24p's and stack or one 6610-48p. Maybe two 6610-48ps and stack them, damn why is this such a hard decision.
So stacking is a bit overkill haha? This is a mixture of a homelab and a the home network. I just like playing around with the tech too much. Sometimes going so extreme just because want to see how far I can go. Back to the questions at hand, so it isn't worth having a separated cards. If I were...
Ok that is good to hear that I can still have 4 usable 40g ports. Sinc ea lot of you here have a lot of good knowledge, I suppose I can ask some advice on my setup.
Currently- I have a dedicated computer running pfsense as the firewall and router. That runs into the LB4M switch and everything...
Alright, I originally bought a LB4M and now came across fohdeesha's post on the LB4M thread about the 6450's and now the 6610's. I first looked at the 6450's but wanted dual power supply like the LB4M. So the 6610's became a option, although two can take up a chunk of power as my current LB4M...
