    Question about serial console setup on this box: Is it possible to have serial setup on the T620 via USB? If so, what are the settings in the BIOS/OpnSense (if applicable)/type of cable you need? I finally put the network rack on my wall and moved my router into it. I dont want to have to mount...

    What would cause a command to be added/removed from a Mellanox switch config?

    Thank you for the thoughtful response @olhachycher ! As the devops person here, there is only one other process that is automated against these switches so you raise a good point. I will see when the config changes because I only have a daily config download right now on those switches. The...

    What would cause a command to be added/removed from a Mellanox switch config?

    I have an MSB7800 running 3.10.2102 code and it seems like the following config line at the end is being added and removed randomly. Does anyone know why this would happen? I have confirmation from the team no one is doing it manually and I am trying to get the configs into git for archive...

    Yes, I am jealous. No FIOS for me :( I think the plan is to run the box as is and do some baselining with the hardware and go from there on complexity.

    I am finally looking to put this hardware in my network. Will this device keep up running OpnSense and/or something like PiHole virtually and not on physical hardware (KVM)? Internet service is only at 200Mbps which is all I need. I plan to do vlans and other fun stuff on OpnSense as well so I...
