Anyone have experience with these? I'm eyeing a new in box one, but not sure if I need a subscription, licenses, or anything else to use it. I'm hoping to plug it in and it work out of the box. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

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...

Hello, folks. I have a Mikrotik CRS317 with 16 SFP+ cages. I have stuff for the 10G connection I need to make, but there are several 1G ethernet devices I need to hook to it as well. I've tried a couple of SFP modules, but while there is information in Webfig that the module is present, it will...

Hello STH. I'm just getting started with a home server and hit a stumbling block that I could do some help with. I bought some mismatched 10G nics for peer to peer over DAC between my r720 server and clients. Works fine. Now I need more distance so want to try fibre so bought another chelsio...

Hello Lovely internet land. I'm currently configuring: Dell R510, Ubuntu 18.04 with a Mellanox ConnectX-2 (2x SFP+) || (SFP+) LB8 || (SFP+) LB4m ---[Cat5e]--- WiFi AP ->) (<- Laptop | (Cat5e) Router I have my Internet coming into a port on a LB4m which goes into a Bonded Pair of SFP+ which...

Hi everyone, i just got a Quanta LB8 Switch with 48 SFP+ Ports. The Problem is that my whole network is currently 1G copper (but i have 4 SFP uplinks on my switch). I need a simple way to integrate my "new" 10G Switch into my network. I thought SFP modules would work in a SFP+ port but i seems...

Hello all, After a bit of a fight with one of my PC's which utterly refused to detect the Mellanox at all ( turned out to be a BIOS issue with Agesa ) I now have them up and running. I'm getting about 380Mb per second transfer under Windows 10 Pro from an 8 Drive Raid 6 array on a 9361 to a PCIe...

I ordered some SFP-H10GB-CU3M compatible (supposedly) DACs from fs.com, and although they're nice and thin, and work with my Mellanox Connectx-3 cards in my NAS', they are not compatible with my P81E 10GbE cards in my UCS servers. Can anyone recommend a good DAC in 3-5m distances to connect my...

Hi, I need to build a server with a port to connect a 1Gbps single mode fiber. There seems to be little PCI-e cards available that offer 2 ports (i'm looking for either 2 or 4 ports for expansion) SFP cages where I can use any optics. Question is, will a 10GbE nic work with SFP optics (instead...

Is there difference in physical form between SFP28 optical and SFP/SFP+ ? Should SFP28 optical module (like the one in the following link) fit into SFP/SFP+ cage ? https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/ethernet-sfp28-optics-product-brief.pdf Kevin

I am trying to direct connect 10GBe cards and having a heck of a time. I'm connecting short runs via SFP, two ConnectX2 cards. They occasionally see each other. 1 GB network is 192.168.3.xxx 10GB network is 192.168.10.xxx with manual IPs set. In the 10GBe network all I have specified in...
