If you've tested it in a home-built box, then you should be fine. If you're running 8311 on the transceiver itself, then the layer 2-ish auth is S/N and RegID. You should still keep an eye on Layer 3, especially if Bouygues issues IPv6 addresses, but in general, a dumb switch or a media...

If they're not using PPPoE then yea, you're fine; though pure DHCP is pretty unusual because it has no protection for rouge endpoints just spicing into the network at a pole and spoofing a mac because it's just a passive network. Have you done a dry run with an homebrew box?

Don't use a switch, use a media converter. If you use a switch, you need to have management functions so you can set it up as either a virtual wire, or configure the two ports properly to forward PPPoE packets to each other (not hard, but not trivial either), at which point you've wasted so much...

Yeup, that's a high power XGSPON transceiver. I assume there is also a heatsink on the transceiver as well? The transceiver would probably also be significantly longer than a normal transceiver. (2.5W is the danger zone if there's no heatsink) Depending on which generational revision the...

@herbie Couple of things: In general, client side PON modules burn roughly the same amount of juice as standard optics. The only difference in the tech has to do with how the multiple endpoints are bundled together at the ISP side and at the splitter sites along the poles. (yes this is a super...

I literally hit this wall just now after 3 weeks of trying to get this board setup as a low power NAS. At this point I should just start searching for motherboard model names on forums to see if there are any landmines.

Was waiting till the full review to grab one. Definitely a viable alternative to appliance routers and 1U servers, and definitely changes the TinyMiniMicro math (Dual 10GbE without burning the PCIe slot). I didn't see any extra fan headers in any of the teardown videos - @Patrick did you find...

Thanks @BeTeP ! As usual Nvidia support is as clear as mud.

Apparently Nvidia made the Gateway License free for since MLXOS 3.4.3002, has anyone tried to upgrade an unlicensed SX6036 to see if this is true, and whether this applies to HP branded switches as well? I checked the HP support website, and the newest FW is from 2019 and upgrades to...

Very awesome Thomas! Thanks for putting the build log of this exact combo. Since you have both units on hand, if you have the time, can you check two things for me? 1) Is there any place in the chassis to mount 2x 2.5" drives? (either by design or with a drill) I was thinking of using them as...

Oh yea that was hidden, oh well given it's PCIe Gen3, can't really do much in 30 hours. Sent the dude a msg about shipping to Canada, lets see. Ebay won't even let you checkout if your shipping address is not the EU or UK.

Any reports on the SMART data from the drives? If these have been abused, there's no point.

Great snippet Patrick! More of that kind of industry journalism is super appreciated. Just as valuable if not more valuable than product reviews if for the only reason that almost no one covers that beat anymore except trade magazines. (Literally the only trace of two-phase cooling on Bloomberg...

Finally getting around to a lab cleanout. Shipping to CAN/US included Xeon 8124M Server Timestamps - $750 USD / $980 CAD SHIPPED (Case, PSU, and feline PM not included) Intel Xeon Platinum 8124m 18c / 36t @ 3.0GHz (Xeon Platinum 8124M - Intel - WikiChip) 96 GB DDR4-2666 Low Profile ECC RDIMM...

Oh for dual CPU mobos, the Gigabyte will definitely work. Wendell @L1Techs is still running his Gigabyte 2U servers with dual 8124M. He has the model number somewhere in his post on the L1Techs forums or in his video on the 8124M.

I'm actually selling my 8124M rig (I'll post it some time tonight, or you can PM me if you're in Canada). It has an AsRock Rack EPC621D8A board which obviously supports 240W TDP CPUs. The only other board that isn't AWS OEM that's known to work is Gigabyte's C621 board. Just remember you should...

@OriginalHutch How are you "installing" OpenWRT on the device?

The P4600 and P4800X are enough to form a proper ZFS array, an you post the S.M.A.R.T. data for the drives?

Would be an amazing for a branch router/SDN controller/security appliance if they offered it in MOQ:1 skus...

It's a TL-SG3210XHP-M2. So 8x 2.5G PoE+ ports and 2x 10G SFP+ ports with a Noctua fan mod. It's powering EAP660 HD APs, which works great, however for the other 14 ports in the house, using multiple PoE switches just to get 2.5G is a little overkill. The only other option is to grab a...
