I just managed to pick up a HP 3032Q Switch for a great price and am intending to run Sonic on it with Mellanox 100Gb cards and 100Gb DAC cables (it's only going to be for 5 machines max).
I notice there's no SFP or SFP+ ports on the switch and short of running some kind of PC based bridge is there a cheapish way to get a 10GBase-T connection to connect to the rest on my network?
From what I've read I don't think there's any QSFP28 10GBase-T transceiver adapters, so think I might have to go breakout cable then transceiver adapter, which is a bit ugly and might work out stupidly expensive relatively, so may just setup a bridge on one of my PCs.
Thoughts/Ideas?
