    Looking for a NIC

    It seems to be quite fortuitous that I have the same setup as you where I just bought an R210 ii and am getting started on pfSense. How is your connection holding up so far with your Aquantia module? I still have to buy a 10Gb NIC and was wondering why you went with SPF+ rather than copper...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Alright, finally joined the select ICX6610 club (thank you fohdeesha). So here comes my first question: The one I bought got 2 PSUs, is it useful to plug both PSUs in if: - don't really care if a PSU fails, nothing critical if my switch turns off for a couple of minutes, I can't put it on my...

    Looking for a new toy

    Awesome information, thanks a ton! Agreed on the Aruba, although cheap, not enough future proof for me. No offense taken, all valid points. Problem is with the ex2300-c is the number of ports, I need at least 24 and even thinking getting 48 so I don't need to change for another 3 or 4 years...

    Looking for a new toy

    Couple of questions about the Arista - I see there's a 48vdc version, how do you go about feeding it power? - Am I right seeing it as too complex for me to start with, being a total CLI newbie? The last thing I want is my wife being even more angry at me because I can't figure out how to "plug...

    Looking for a new toy

    I also noticed the Aruba 2500, problem is the rj45 compatibility indeed, other than that they're dirt cheap. You see my qnap nas only shows very expensive sfp+ NICs (like $200+ on junkbay), and that would be an expense I m not willing to make. I ve asked around for other cheaper NIC to no avail...

    Looking for a new toy

    Thank you sir, didn't know there was a UI. When you say crappy, it would still allow me to get my network running with the basics in case I m stuck, right?

    Looking for a new toy

    Hello everyone, After reading a lot of literature, I decided to further learn by practicing. I am looking for a cheap 24p or more switch (under $500) that would provide expansion capabilities once I become familiar with it (i.e. stacking and enough ports). It would be my first time using a...

    Maybe a stupid question but did you consider FreeNAS at some point? Just wondering as I am evaluating how to build my own NAS for the moment, so only gathering data at the moment :)
