    Mellanox Switches - Tips & Tricks

    At your leisure, any help will be great, I am stuck going forward for some of this until it is fixed or I find a replacement. And yes, I did mess up. I realized that after I started digging and that is the reason why I relegated myself to turning it into a fixture.

    Sadly, no I did not back it up. I was in too much of a hurry. :( I would appreciate any help, this is going to be a big part of my backbone and at the price, I could not miss out on the purchase.

    Mellanox Switches - Tips & Tricks

    So, I missed the note on not upgrading SX models past 3.6. So I upgraded to 3.9 and things went awry. I did not equate MSX == SX . As expected the ASIC is no longer available. The main issue was attempting to find any version that was less than 3.6 and greater than 3.4.12 . So for now I...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    When I spoke about using your storage under a different VLAN, I should have stated that is if you had other devices that would be dedicated to talking to that storage. For your normal access to the storage server, you would use a different VLAN to communicate to it. I tend to forget that most...

    Do you have a router that is routing already? If no external router, then using the switch as a router, does have some limitations in what routing it does. Setting jumbo still allows you on a per-port or VLAN basis the MTU I would segment storage from other VLANs i.e. internal network on one...
