Hello,
I have been enjoying a couple of cheap Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards connected directly to each other with a DAC cable, but I'm looking to move to a longer link with Juniper EX2300C switches at each end.
The EX2300C has 2 x 1/10GbE SFP/SFP+ ports that can be used.
I'm going to use one as a long uplink between the 2 switches, and I think I have that figured out with some transceivers and a ~100ft fiber cable.
Datasheet is here - https://www.juniper.net/assets/uk/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000580-en.pdf
With the other spare SFP+ switch port I want to connect my PC and NAS directly to each switch at either end, and I was wondering if I can still use my Mellanox cards to achieve this?
And, if so, then what sort of transceivers do I need?
Any help greatly appreciated
