    pfSense Plus 24.03 Released with a Big Default Password Update and More

    Just out of curiosity, is it really sane to run production equipment on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT (there doesn't seem to be a release date yet for 15.0-RELEASE)? Isn't that considered highly experimental and could contain unknown (security) issues? I mean I understand that they want to push for most...

    Arista DCS-7050QX-32

    Out of curiosity I just ran the same command on the DCS-7280SR2 and it has the same CPU. So perhaps some x2 and r2 products share some components.

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

    Has anyone ever looked into the image files of a ICX7250 and seen if BGP could be enabled for it? As someone in this thread pointed out, there are old pdfs that explicitly state, that it has BGP support. Obviously it doesn't now, but what is really the limitation here, if at some point in time...

    Hi, I've got myself a DCS-7050SX2-72Q. The last firmware version that is compatible is 4.28 it seems. Could someone please help me? Thank you! EDIT: Does anyone know if newer versions can be used as well, even if not officially supported? From a bit of spelunking this seems to be the flash...

    ConnectX-3 custom firmware files

    @kevindd992002 I can't help you there, I believe I did upload the correct working and non-working images in that one post, but I don't have the time to test it again. While I still have a few of those cards, I've since replaced most of them with Intel ones that didn't cause me as much of a...
