Hi all,
I currently have a home lab that consists of one file server, 2 Hyper-V servers and my workstation. All servers are on Server 2012 R2 and moving at some point to Server 2016 and my workstation is running Windows 10 Enterprise.
All these are running gigE using a Netgear GS748T v5 and I'd like to move these to 10 gigE without buying a switch but having a hard time making sense of all the SFP, SFP+, intel adapters, Mellanox adapters, etc, aka complete noob in that department. Current cabling is CAT 6a for all the above.
Any useful links you guys can share where I can learn some of that stuff, how to configure and use them, recommendations, etc would be much appreciated.
