nic

I am looking for information from people with systems with Supermicro motherboards with a Broadcom 10Gb NIC controller chip (BCM57416). Specifically, I would like to find out the NIC temperature IPMI reports on your board (for example, running "ipmitool sensor" or the IPMICFG tool "IPMICFG...

$150 - QNAP-QM2-2P10G1TB Comes with the flat and half hight backing plate, but not the the full hight backing plate. I bought a backing plate for another model that would just take a little dremel action to get it to fit. $425 - KCD6XLUL7T68 ($800 for both) - SIE version firmware at 8003 The...

Unfortunately these don't show up on Ebay.com. They state that they won't ship to the US. Thought I would post for members across the pond. These start at $176 on Ebay...

Folks, Does anyone know if I can get 8x10G on a single NIC using Dual 40G or 100G with fanout/splitters ? Thanks john

Hi all. I'm completely new to server builds and just built my first PC. It's based on the ROMED8-2T with an Epyc 7302P. 128 GB RAM (32x4). I have a 2TB SSD. 2x1TB M2 SSDs. 12TBx6 HDDs that will ultimately be in a raidz2 config. Noctua cooler. Corsair 750 power supply. Housing is Fractal Design...

Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of building a home server room, and I have the following question. Which network cards and cables will be fully compatible with the Arista DCS-7050S-R switch? I have heard that Arista switches are compatible with any SFP+ cables, is that true? Are...

I recently got some connectx-7 from local distributer that used to sell unlisted lab equipment from some of the big companyies. As the price was fair enough, i just immediately purchased it without further testing and evalutation. Unfortunately, when I tried to connect two of the NICs , I...

Hi I messed up my LOM Intel i350 EEPROM on this board. Can someone with the same exact motherboard (X9DRW-3LN4F+) make a dump with "sudo ethtool -e eno1 raw on > eeprom1.bin" for me? (same for eno2-eno4). On my board it was v1.61 for the first two Interfaces and v1.52 for ethernet port 3 and...

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind, trying to ghetto-mod some extra network capacity into a mini-ITX system and only have a 4x m.2 slot available to me. I'm considering using a m.2 to 4x PCIe slot riserand creatively mounting it somehow. Ideally I'd want 25gbe bandwidth out of this...

Getting very frustrated playing detective with these cards, as I am really not an expert. I will need about 4 quad port cards, hope to have a few with SR-IOV. 1Gb cards are fine for my purposes but would buy a faster card if assured they are genuine. What is a reasonable price range for i350...

My HPE Proliant DL380 G7 works very well, I have upgraded CPU's and I have no issues with performance, also having 144GB DDR3 RAM on it. But when looking at NIC's I wonder if there are any more recent alternatives to, example, NC550SFP, which is a 10GB 2 ports SFP+ card. From 2013 as it seems...

I've been using my onboard network ports on my server but happened to stumble upon a good deal for this converged NIC. It supports 25GbE but also 10GbE, I'm not sure if I do virtual switch tagging if my actual switch would just handle the trunking between the different vLANs and not actually...

Hey everyone, I also posted this on reddit and got a promising response but since this might also be interesting for this community and to increase my chances of succeeding, I decided to try my luck and also post this here. The backstory goes like this: On the quest to build a low power pfsense...

I’ve bought two different intel Pro/1000 NICs, and no matter what I’ve tried I can’t get them to show up. The BIOS doesn’t see them, and Linux lspci doesn’t either. They are pic-e x4 cards. I’ve tried changing the slots, I’ve poked around in the BIOS to see if there was some setting I could...

Hello, At this moment I use 2x HP servers, DL360p G8 and DL380 G9, both with HP 649283-B21 40G NICs... They work fine as ethernet adapters on pfSense without flashing etc... But now I need some decent PCI-e x16 100G NICs for another servers which ill use at 40G (no 100G switch) but I hope to...

I generally buy Intel NICs but am looking to buy some ConnectX-5 NICs (new, not EBay) for the first time for use in a new TrueNAS box. While the Intel NICs have "limited lifetime" warranties and unlimited access to firmware/software updates, it appears the ConnectX cards only have a 1 year...

First of, I know CX4 is old and generally not the thing around these forums :) But since I got a bunch of HP 5120 EL switches thrown at me, all with 2 port CX4 10GbE modules installed and cables too, I really need the best advice/recommendation I can get, for a ethernet NIC with CX4 port(s) I'm...

This is somewhat of a repost of my post on reddit but maybe somebody here wants the nic before I put it up on eBay. It's a X710-DA2 with full height bracket with latest FW applied which was just pulled out of my system yesterday (hence the timestamp from yesterday / my username on reddit sans...
