Separate names with a comma.
Thanks, that was a pointer in the right direction. I was able to get the SFP online by doing the following: 1) Set SFP port to auto-negotiate:off,...
Ok, so I was able to do some more digging. It's not a physical fit issue. That sounded silly to me when I wrote it, so nice to see it confirmed....
Yes did the initial provision with the HomeHub. Works fine. I have an H3C switch where it can recognize the SFP and gets its info like serial...
I just purchased and installed a Mikrotik CRS317, a CRS326, and CRS328. Currently, I'm trying to provision my CRS317 as a core switch/router, and...
I've only tried the E5-2670 CPUs I have on hand, both being matched and v1. I should try flashing the BIOS to the latest version, but I'm not...
Hi folks, I finally got a chance to open and install an X9DRi-F board that I bought several months ago. It doesn't POST when a CPU is installed...
That's exactly the problem I ended up having. The ConnectX-3 is a better buy for that reason alone. Or, just buy Intel X520-DA1/2 cards and call...
FS: Supermicro SC216BE16 2U 24 bay chassis, 1151 motherboard, & PWS-920P-SQ
Turns out, it's the other way around. With the Mellanox card, it won't come up. But on an Intel X520, it comes up fine with this cable. The...
Well, I'm running into this now. I definitely need to use an active DAC, and it's the Cisco-branded SFP-H10GB-ACU7M that I'm using. Going into a...
PM'd you.
Tried buying 2 of these LF boards off eBay, and both ended up being damaged. Very frustrating. If anyone has a source for one of these boards,...
That switch would be amazing, but it's too bad you can't run it standalone.
Just bought a system with an SC825 chassis, not realizing that sometimes these things don’t come with a PDB. Which defeats the purpose of my quiet...
The HGST I posted earlier today is a better deal. Sure, they're refurbished, but they're HGST, very reliable, and $42. At that price, I bought spares.
That's correct, NIC doesn't matter, both FreeNAS and pfSense exhibit similar behaviour/speeds with an Intel X520 or Chelsio N320E. I have not...
This deal is back on, except now there's a 30% off coupon code, bringing the drive price down to $42. EMCRKBF33 Just bought 10. 6 for my...
Just reinstalled the Chelsio NIC back into the FreeNAS box, and I'm seeing the exact same performance numbers. So there's something about FreeNAS...
Increasing the streams by adding -P 2 to 8 on iPerf had no impact. Same speeds. I'll try a DAC between pfSense and FreeNAS, but a "direct...
Ok, I'm not seeing anything like that at all. I just reverted my boxes back to their original configurations. Windows 10 Workstation i3-2120...
