Curious if someone has seen whether the Xeon D-2100 are supported by pfSense yet? SFP+ ports included?
Looking at 2 of these for a linking 2 locations, site-to-site:
Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 5019D-FN8TP
Sure the TDP is higher than the D-1500 series (I'm not overly concerned with power usage), but from all indications the performance difference is significant. It may even be a little overkill, but considering I can get 2 of them (with the required RAM & SSD) for quite a bit less than 2 of Netgate's own XG-1537, it would only make sense to get the newer equipment, if it works - hence this post!
I'll be running a substantial amount of IPsec traffic, the Supermicro unit has higher clock speeds than similar units, Turbo's higher, and includes QAT (if Netgate ever get around to supporting that, I'm hopeful at least).
As we continue to grow, our needs will also continue to grow, so I'm trying to also plan ahead.
Thank you very much, this site and forum has been a wealth of information for me over the years!
edit - TNSR is a possibility, but I'm not prepared to jump into something new at this point.
