I'm using a repurposed/reimaged Dell VMware Edge 620 running pfS on a comcrap 1500/250Mbps service using the dual SFP+ ports for > 1Gbps speeds, and it's just loafing along. Damn near silent too. Can be had on the bay for around $75, more or less. Only thing missing is that it's not rackmount...

The STH Effect™ in full force. :D

Good find. Worth it just for the U.2 to PCIe adapter. Bet these won't last long.

As you didn't really indicate any budget limitations.... Cisco WS-C3560CX-12PD. 12 ports PoE+, 2 SFP+ ports. CLI capable of remote script application, or can be scripted through EEM internally.

I agree, I have a large amount of 64GB DDR4 pulls from HPE servers and I was hoping to use two of them in this box, but nooooooooooooo. :(

So the CIMC won't update until the compute component is fully booted. My unit shows dual 32GB DIMMs for the total of 64GB. The unit does NOT support any form of 64GB DIMM. Edit to add image.

Ooooh tempted, especially since I'm fighting getting a 3060ti to work in a Dell 5810 because of the dual 8-pin power need even with the 825W supply... not enough current on the single PCIE output on the power board. This my linux StaDif rendering machine that will be running headless, so actual...

Do tell us how? / 请告诉我们如何做？

I basically did all those same steps as listed, had to do the DiagOS install to eMMC so I could boot into that and do the firmware update. Did the pfsense install using the serial memstick image, its default settings dump out to ttyS0 at 115,200, so didn't even have to change speeds during the...

So I've got four nodes, 3 are in various remote locations and 1 at a colocation facility. I'm doing VTI hub and spoke with FRR BGP because the direct links between the various sites was not working well, packet loss on the direct internet paths between locations. Bringing them all back to the...

I just picked up a couple weeks ago a Dell/VMware Edge 620 (aka VEP1425) for $75 on the ebay. Following the separate threads here on the Edge/VEP units, I updated the firmware and such, then installed PF on it. Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3558 @ 2.20GHz 4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s) AES-NI CPU...

Oooooh, don't suppose you want to put one of these together for ESXI? ;)

Erm, ok.... somewhere on this board is a 128GB SSD.... I finally found it in BIOS after the DIAG-OS dmesg showed it to me.... now to figure out how I can actually use it... seems the BIOS still wants to boot the eMMC. Edit to add: Got it working. Got pfsense CE installed. And can't get QAT...

Wow. I feel cheated. This definitely is a 620 based on the CPU, confirmed that when I ran the VEP latest firmware update, but where's the mSATA and mPCIE slots?

So one (well, two...) of the supported NIMs in the ENCS5412 platform are the NIM-1GE-CU-SFP and NIM-2GE-CU-SFP. Has anyone considered trying one of those in their unit to see if it's recognized by any OS other than NFVIS? Seems like that would be a heck of a lot less expensive (Cisco...

Thank you!

Prices for the 620 are in the $75 range now, so I'm picking one up and see if I can use it on my comcast 1.5Gbps connection instead of a VM I'm running right now. Probably safe to say I'll be dropping some questions in here; I've got Cisco 10G-SR SFPs that I'll be trying to use in the box...

What's the card on which you have those things mounted?

Screaming deal. And I could really use one of those 8-core boards to replace a 4-core board in a SYS-5019D that I've got. Sorry I don't need all 3 of them. PM inbound.

Same seller has 6 more available at $127 for the next three days... Cisco ENCS5412/K9 Compute System 5412 Virtualization Appliance -Xeon D-1557 32GB | eBay
