    Horaco 2.5GbE Managed Switch (8 x 2.5GbE + 1 10Gb SFP+)

    There's no temperature sensor on this switch I guess?

    Any news on MxL86282-based switches? (8x 2.5G + 2x 10G)

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008818764640.html Horaco says it supports SNMP? And uses an MXL826825. My bad. It's using a RTL9302D. Even has a console port. Price is a bit more expensive compared to other 8copper+2SFP+ cheap switches though.

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    I found a 12.5V2.5A power supply for my ZX310S-8T2XS, so I gave that a try. I had 2 copper ports connected, and switch was sitting at 42C. I connected 3 more, and immediately temperature jumped to 56C. I added another for a total of 6 copper and it stayed constant at 58-59C. I let it run...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Does anyone here have the CW-AT-2L-10G variant? I was just looking at a product description, particularly the one with dual 10G SFP+, and it looks to have a fan incorporated into the NIC, is this true? I was initially interested in picking up a N305 with dual SFP+ and limit the wattage via...

    TP-Link TL-SG3210X-M2 Managed Switch (8x2.5Gbps + 2x10Gbps)

    Am I reading correctly that this model does not support LACP?

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    @Shonk would you be willing to try running this switch with the included 12V1A adapter? I wonder if it has a big impact on stability. I don't know much about how or why this would be.

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    I wonder if the excessive web logins used to capture metrics is causing instability to my switch? NFI really. I bought it on Aliexpress, so it seems I can easily process a return/refund. Have the packet counters reset at all for you @Shonk ?

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    Keep an eye on the packet counters, seems thats the only sure way to know if the switch reboots. My counters reset at 11am this morning again. Unless the counters reset once they hit a threshold, NFI.

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    GoodTop is recommending I try a 12V2A power adapter. I really don't think that's the issue. Your heatsink replacement process seems like a bit more than I'm willing to undertake, but I may consider at least finding a slightly bigger one than the original.

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    I haven't gotten anywhere with GoodTop support, but my upstream managed Dell switch is showing LAG flapping again. I also noticed devices on the GoodTop switch also had link flapping yesterday and today, so I suspect the GoodTop switch might lock up again pretty soon, like last time. GoodTop...

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    I experienced my first full switch failure of my ZX310S-8T2XS yesterday. I got alerted that the switch wasn't pingable, then I noticed web interface was also unreachable, and devices local on the switch also couldn't talk to each other, and the LAG to my Dell switch was also not passing traffic...

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    Been playing a bit more with my ZX310S-8T2XS. Not sure if the vertical wall mount is negatively impacting the temperatures, but I'm averaging around 53ºC. Seems a bit hot eh? My network closet isn't very ventilated, so it's mostly my own fault, but maybe the heatsink is enough. With the help of...

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    I started looking at the cheap-switch-exporter code for Prometheus to use for this switch. The port statistics are totally different, but at least the output is in JSON. With some help from ChatGPT, I've adapted a new authentication mechanism for this model, and now need to translate the...

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    Received both switches yesterday. Quite acceptable shipping wait, approximately a week. The GT-ST015 is still in the box, but I've configured the ZX310S-8T2XS and it's wall mounted live in my LAN now. Running two interface LACP aggregation to my existing 1G switch, and moved a couple devices...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Did you go direct to 2.32 from 2.17? No need to mess with 2.23? Did you also update all 5 at a time and reboot once? Thanks! When I ran ./nvmupdate64e -i -l -o inventory.xml, I can see the ETrackId, but the NVM Version says it's 2.23(2.17). Not really sure what that means; maybe I'm on 2.23...

    Cheap 8 * 2.5Gbit Managed Switches

    Hope it's okay to (attempt to) revive this thread? I just bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on two switches on AliExpress. Decent discounts and free shipping meant I got these together for €70. Goodtop 8x 2.5G + 2x 10G SFP+ Managed ZX310S-8T2XS Goodtop 5x 2.5G + 1x 10G SFP+ Unmanaged...

    Horaco 2.5GbE Managed Switch (8 x 2.5GbE + 1 10Gb SFP+)

    Do MaxLinear switches consume less power than the Realtek equivalents? If they do, it seems that point is a bit moot if two MaxLinear chips are used, like in the TRENDnet TEG-3102WS case. Is it true that for 8x 2.5GbE + 2x 10G SFP+, these type of switches must be MaxLinear? The MaxLinear...

    N305 has a configurable TDP that can be changed from 15W to 9W. Any idea how?

    I think by limiting it to 9W, it makes the N305 basically behave like a N300, right?

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hey @splifingate , have you attempted any thermal/power capping on your N305? I've been waiting a long while, which might will be forever, for a 4port version with N300 or N350. Not sure if they will ever come. I'm running the N100 version at the moment, and the 8 cores in the N30x series has me...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Woah, you're braver than me. Thanks for taking the risk and informing the public. I hope you get compensated/reimbursed. I emailed CWWK about that model, still waiting to hear back. I think it most likely is bogus (for now).
