So far the only NIC I can find that actually supports 2500, 5000, and 10000 is the intel X550-T2 which I own but is not fiber. I need such a card to connect to my modem through which I get 350MB/s with a 5GB connection, and then on to my Brocade at 10GB. Does an SFP+ board support this? I cannot find any and I have been looing hard.
I just got an HP T740 to use exclusively as a firewall router and not surprisingly the NIC overheats.
I find it strange that I cannot find an SFP+ NIC to fill the bill as I have plenty of copper "transceivers" that support multimode. It seems like the NIC's don't support this, just some switches?!?
Thanks!
