The Xeon has 8 memory channels so it will never idle like other desktop CPUs. But 125W sounds a bit on the higher side. Could be the CPU isn't idling and stuck on higher power state (which is perfectly normal for server BIOS defaults) - What is the OS? If using ESXi make sure the Host Power...

Have been looking through eBay for these Cisco models - can you talk a little bit about the licensing situation with Cisco? Are licenses for the C9300-48UXM easily available without paywalls/fees etc? The big draw for the Ruckus switches was the honor based licensing (and of course @fohdeesha's...

I am not a network engineer, but I have to ask - if you want to do routing at 40G, shouldn't you be using something like Quagga / FFR / VyOS ? Especially modern routing stacks that support vector processing and can do > 10G on COTS hardware? - What's the relationship between 40G and Jumbo...

If it’s not disabled with the BIOS the temps are not going to change when idle. They’re still high You’ll need server style cooling as @RolloZ170 pointed out. Else use a low noise 40mm Noctua fan to blow over the NICs. Even a few CFM makes a big difference

It doesn’t

What would be the Cisco equivalent of say the ICX 7650-48ZP?

Why do folks prefer 'server' components? One big problem is (lack of) PCIe lanes. If you have a boat load of NVMe disks and you consume loads of PCIe then you need server motherboards with AMD EPYC or Intel server chipsets. These are never going to be energy efficient. Add to that IPMI etc and...

What’s the client? Also what’s your country code / region? Try restricting the radios to one of the more common channels and see if that helps

Just installed it. So far so good. Been using it on a mix of R750s and H550s with one SSID set to WPA3 and the others being WPA2/3 mixed. Seems to be working fine

Is this true for other models like ICX7650-48ZP for instance? Where would I get this info since The Great One's online resource only talks about the ICX6610?

Are you running 4.04 on the rev 1.0 of the motherboard? (ie the one with the 32MB BMC chip) ?

PSA: for folks buying R770 units off eBay, apparently the older models of this AP have really loud coil whine. Ref: R770 loud coil whine At least one reputed eBay seller confirms this in his notes.

I didn't have a spare mobo to hook it up since I am downsizing (right sizing according to significant other) but let me try something in the next few weeks. Any luck with your cage so far?

Sadly there's a lot of current drama in VyOS-land ... see here: VyOS pulling their build tools to make own rolling/LTS builds easily and this article: Community, Contributors, User Base and LTS builds. If you donated $25 per month you would get a LTS ISO - now it's not only is it impossible BUT...

Don't want to derail the OP's thread but .... Do we know if all three 10Gbit ports can be utilized simultaneously ? Or can just two be used at a time? There's a Qualcomm processor that would match those characteristics - the IPQ5424. From what folks have described the CPU load is low while...

I don't know if you already have a segmented network and the internet facing servers are in a DMZ. If not they should be and you can use VLANs or anything else to achieve segmentation. The thinking should not be: *if* someone compromises my public facing servers what do I do ? but...

It depends on what you have enabled on your OPNsense and what you are using it for. If you are using IDPS - doing that on 10G requires quite a bit of CPU horsepower, due to how OPNsense leverages Suricata. If you're doing routing - folks on the OPNsense forum have said an i5-14600k can do 8 ~ 9...

try lspci -vvv to check which driver is in use for the card. IIRC, Ubuntu needs the linux-modules-extra package for the bnxt kernel module or then load windows to check if the OS is a problem Both the intel 550 and the BCM 574xxx are quite sturdy but they are susceptible to heat. I’ve had my...

Isn't the BIOS Network stack only for EFI boot and using network in EFI shell? Also what happens when you assign a static IP address in whatever OS you are using (Linux/Windows) ? The LAN chipset is BCM57416, IIRC Ubuntu had problems with it but the later versions work fine
