Hello,
so the more I read about it, the more I am confused on what I actually need for our network setup.
We got:
Asus P9DWS mainboard (2x PCIe3 x4 SSD, 1x PCEe2 x8 IBM M1015 cards already in)
D-Link DGS-1024D 24 Port Gigabit Switch
We want:
Between Server and Switch 2x 10GB Ethernet, so that multiple clients can get each full 2Gbit (Full-Duplex) at the same time. The switch needs at least 24 Ports. 48 Ports wouldn't be bad, if the price does not skyrocket. And a 19" rack mount is a must. Besides that, we want a managed switch for link bonding of some 1Gb ports to the clients.
I assume, that we will need a PCIe Dual 10Gb NIC and a Switch with 2 10Gb ports.
However the details are not clear to me:
- which ports should the parts have exactly
- which cables are needed
- what's up with these transceivers?
The server and the switch are located right next to each other. So the cable length will be 1m tops. Probably could get it down to .5m if needed.
Actual question:
Could someone please recommend reasonable parts for our setup?
We want to stay below 1000€, the cheaper, the better, as long as the performance does not degrade.
Used parts are also very welcome.
Thank you and Merry Christmas everyone!
