network

Hey, I manage a network at an outdoor restaurant we have a single subnet with a ton of devices. We have occasional gremlins and I am trying to figure out why. It's not terrible, but there's issues with reliability now and then - mostly latency issues (I think) which usually get noticed when...

My Freenas server is not detecting my new (from ebay) SFP+ card. It is the Mellanox ConnectX3 MCX341A-XCE, but I haven't been able to find an updated firmware for it anywhere. If I try the other firmware's for other variations of the card, I get this error -E- PSID mismatch. The PSID on flash...

I recently upgraded my network to 10gb, but I can't get my TrueNAS rig to recognize it. This is the ebay listing for the product I bought: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/2PCS-MCX341...3?pageci=80ea2655-f689-46eb-adcd-183105ef37f2 Both cards are tested and working in my PC (Windows) and my Dell R710...

as above. due to cabling constraints, my server can only connect to the internet via WiFi (currently an Intel 8260AC). - Can I use my current setup to setup ESXi 6.x/7.x (not the workstation edition) - OR maybe I need something like this? (DAP‑1522 - Xtreme N Duo Wireless N Access Point) I'll...

Hi, In a few months I'll be moving to a new house and it's time to start planning the network layout/topology. The current state and equipment (nothing fancy): Hardware - all located in one single room (wired): Media Converter APU - pfsense NAS - Freenas AP - Unifi LR AP Switch - MikroTik...

Hey folks, I’ve been noticing that my UnRaid server is getting a tad long in the tooth in terms of speed of docker containers running and the VMs. Granted the server is running on an old FX-8320 and 16GB of DDR3 ram. So I think it’s time to upgrade but I don’t know which path to take...

Hey, as i have upgraded my current setup, my "old" firewall has become redundant, and therefore set for sale. Is has been used privately and in enterprise. It works 100%. It is upgraded to the latest recommended release. regarding shipping, let's discuss it if a deal is done. i'm prepared to...

So I'm well past the point where I can keep it all in my head, and only with some effort and a bit of walking between rooms can work it out by direct observation and fooling with the managed switch UIs... So I'm mostly scrawling and erasing a diagram in a notebook to keep track of what ports of...

Hello, looking for a smaller 10GB managed copper switch, like a Netgear XS708Ev2, only really need Layer 2 functionality. If anyone has one or something similar for a good deal, please let me know. Thanks.

So first off, sorry, I saw quite a few other threads on backup software, but I wasn't able to find anyone I needed. Sorry for adding another one. The critical feature that I'm looking for is the ability to do incremental backups to a drive on another machine on the same network, but WITHOUT...

I’m working on a home server project using a Dell R720 to serve as a NAS, PLEX server, and torrent grabber. This is my first server ever and my first experience in networking, server hardware, and Linux. Because of this, I do not know how to carry out the three functions listed out above so I’m...

Does anyone have any practical experience with compatible 10GBASE-T adapters on macOS Mojave? Devices that work well, those to be avoided? Interested in standalone TB3 adapters, PCIe sidecars (and associated NIC), and docking stations. Use Case: LAN based pushing/pulling/rendering images &...

We're a small design studio that is moving from our own huge office to a big co-working space (also with our own – much smaller – office). We're pretty excited about all the other people/work environment, but it also has its drawbacks – and one of them is the networking side of things. I'm...

Hey, I just bought a second AOC-STG-I2 for my VMWare lab - one of the few old (read: cheap) 10GbE cards still properly supported by ESXi. I'm pretty excited about it, but it's got a half-height bracket and I have a full-height slot. Does anyone know where I might get a full-height bracket...

Hi, new to OmniOS CE, have tried the old OmniOS/Napp-IT for a spell just to see how it works a year or two ago, but now am using it regularly in a VM for all my ZFS storage and NFS and SMB shares - I love that '# zfs set sharexxx=on pool/dataset' actually works! It's been difficult to get...

Here's a subject that I'm only obliquely exposed to at work, that seems to be in major discussion in light of recent events (i.e. Bloomberg Businessweek Supermicro story). I'm in the slow process of redoing my home lab, mostly downsizing/consolidating to fewer systems. Currently I manage each...

Hi, I'm selling this switch that I've been using, I ran into some bills and can't really afford to keep my 10Gb stuff. I was asking $400 since the lowest price I've seen it advertised for used is $500, but I'm willing to entertain offers, as well. It's an unmanaged switch (although it does...
