Hi all- I recently got a Ubiquiti Switch Aggregation (the switch with 8x 10G SFP+ ports on it). I am having a problem where Windows clients that are connected to the switch with SFP+ to RJ45 adapters are taking upwards of 1-2 minutes to start receiving any traffic. I am not sure what is causing this. I currently have all 8 ports of the switch in use. I am using 2x aggregated together for a 20G connection to another switch (no connection delay), 1x for our main router (no connection delay), 1x for a PoE switch (no connection delay), 1x for a NAS (no connection delay), and then then the 3 remaining ports are connected to 10GbE equipped windows machines. The SFP+ to RJ45 adapters are from fs.com and the NICs in the Windows machines are from ASUS and TP-Link, all using the same chip from Aquantia I believe. I am using CAT6A ethernet cables between the switch and the machines. Once each machine connects (which usually like I said takes between 1 - 2 minutes) they are able to obtain the full 10/10 G speed. Does anyone have any ideas of what settings I can tweak? Should I try setting static IPs for those devices?

This is a network connection between a PC and a server, so faster the better. Both mobos have 2.5gb ethernet, so my first thought was to buy a 2.5gb switch. Then once seeing the price of the switchs, I realised 2x 10gb NIC's would be cheaper and 4x the speed. Buying a 2.5gb switch which will cost me about $150 I can buy 2x 10gb SFP+ NIC and the optical cable with transeivers for less than the switch So the idea would be that the mobo would bridge to the NIC and supply internet to the other machine. 1. Is this possible? 2. Is there other consideratiions I need to consider?

Recently a family member got a new server for their business with a 10-gigabit SFP+ NIC in it. Do you guys have any recommendations for a 10-gig SFP+ switch with gigabit ethernet ports? Would like to be under 2 grand. Needs at least 16 gigabit ports. Thanks for anyone's advice.

I have a CAT6 cable that cannot be changed out that I need to push 10gig through. The way it is currently set up would lend itself to being changed out on one end for a SFP+ to ethernet adapter plugged into my unifi aggregation switch and on the other a 10gig ethernet switch. I don't know if going from sfp+ adapted to ethernet to a 10gig ethernet port is compatible. If someone knows can they please clear this up for me. I'm kinda a noob with fibre standards (all I've done up to this point has been multimode fibre runs that are very generic)

Budget (including currency): n/a Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: openwrt wifi routing and as a hub for a wifi star network topology. Id like a wifi router that can scale with me currently i only have 40mbs adsl internet but i will be upgrading soon to fibre. id also like it to have 2 sfp+ ports (one for wan one for lan) 1 rj45 (for my current speeds) and some mpcie for wifi cards. I'm ok having used parts. so I've found a few things here paired with this, an m.2 boot drive, some ram and 2 mpcie wifi modules with full bandwidth g/n/ac/ax. I'm wondering if this will work or if anyone has experience with this. after a lot of googling it seems not many people know this exists and with this being rather expensive I just want to make sure it will play nice. Thanks for any help

I have a Miktrotik CSS326 and a CRS305 with a 10gb fiber line between them, I've had it operational since January of this year, but ever since yesterday the connection no longer works, I can still remote into each switch with devices on their sides of the network, the only way I can get them to transfer data between each other is by changing which SFP+ ports the transceivers go in, and even then it only works for about 2-5 minutes. For love of god please help, i've been trying to fix this for the past 7 hours.

It's finally time to upgrade. I'm coming from and i5-3570k system with a GTX 1060. Amd's 5600x has tickled my fancy so I'm finally upgrading. The 1060 is the only thing I'm keeping from my old build. I would love to build an ITX system this time that will last 8-10 years again. So I'm looking at the following: AMD 5600x ROG Strix X570-I Gaming ITX mobo 16-32 Gigs of ram current 1060 (upgrade to RX 6800 down the road) 1TB WD SN750 nvme drive So my dilemma is I have a NAS and 10g card I'd like to connect to this PC using a Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN sfp+ Network Card. It's pcie 4x I'm thinking I can use the Mobo's back m.2-2 connector. Using an m.2 to pcie riser cable and plug in my sfp+ card. Like This one. Has anyone done this? I'm thinking it should work... The only limitation I've read is the m.2's limited power but that seems to be 7W usually and the Mellanox card is listed as less than 5W it's a single port. I've never used M.2 for anything and I'm unfamiliar with it. I thought it was just for storage but I see now it's more just another way to connect pcie. Thoughts?

Hi All, Altice just rolled out fiber in my area (NJ) and I have been searching for a way around using their crap ONT/Gateway AIO. From what i've read, you need to keep the provided hardware and double NAT the network.. This isn't an optimum solution for me. So here is what I am thinking. Why couldn't I terminate the fiber connection to an SFP+ port on my PFSense router LIKE THIS. I know that they wont provide alternate hardware, so why not skip it all together? Are they providing the FGW-GR240BG to customers? Are people just not doing this because they don't have the capable SFP hardware? Will Altice assign an IP in that setup? TIA EDIT: FYI, I don't have phone or TV. I know that's been an issue for Fios customers. I haven't seen anyone talking about it for Altice yet.

I have some I think SFP+ 10/25Gbe cards pulled from a server and while looking different things up I noticed some times they are called fibre channel cards, after continuing down the rabbit hole I'm just confused as to if my plan for them will work. The cards I have a QLogic MSIP-REM-QLG-AH2010410 My plan is to run a cable from a pfSense box containing one of these cards to a switch like this one and connect multiple devices over normal rj45 ethernet. Am I missing something or is this a fine configuration? (assuming pfSense supports these cards at all, I still need to confirm that).

Hi all I have a couple of questions about my ubiquiti setup and about some SFP+ to RJ45 adapters. I wired my house for 10GbE (Cat6A) and for some of the devices I want to be able to utilize the full 10GbE connection. I recently bought a Ubiquiti USW-Aggregation which has 8x 10Gb SFP+ ports on it. I also have 2 other switches, a USW-Enterprise-8-PoE and a USW-Pro-24. My router is a UDM Pro. I plan to use the Switch Aggregation to connect the switches together as well as use 4 of the ports for computers I want to have 10G on and also one port for a NAS. My original plan was to aggregate 2x 10G SFP+ ports together to connect the other two switches together which would use up 4 of the ports, 2 10G links for each. The other 3 would be used for desktops around the house and the last one as I said would be used for the NAS. Is there any reason the Dream Machine Pro would need to be connected through 10G rather than just 1G? My internet connection is only 1G so the only reason I could see the need for 10G would be for the NVR access to the drive in the Dream Machine Pro but I doubt you'd need 10G for a mechanical HDD. Let me know if I'm wrong My other question was about these 10Gb SFP+ to RJ45 adapters. I need these to connect a few desktops to my Ubiquiti Switch Aggregation. Is there any difference between these? Are any brands better than others? FS.com option 1 Amazon option 2 Amazon option 3 Amazon option 4 There's also this "Industrial" one from FS.com. Thanks for anyones input!

Hi, I've got an issue with driver installation for my HP NC523SFP+ 10GBe card. Since the Qlogic changed their website to marvell I am unable to find drivers for qle3242 chip. Could someone provide the extracted files for the driver installation or any other solution? Because all of the executables that installs the drivers automatically failes. In addition I provide the screenshot of message that Windows gives me when I try to do automatic installation.

Hi i have two QLogic QLE2560 with an Finisar FTLF8528P3BCV-QL SFP+ 8 Gb/s Transceiver each lying around. What can i use them for? My homelab consists of: Dell NX400 running TrueNas Scale (Backup-Server) IBM x3650 m4 with an Emulex Dual-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ (Proxmox) Ryzen 3 2200G in a server chasis with a bunch of disks running Windows 10 (Plex, some Gameserver, ....) raspberry pi 3 b+ (PiHole and PiVPN) I have a netgear gs748t (4x sfp 1Gbit) conecting everything. I tried direct conecting some, but had to learn the hard way that thoes cards are fiber chanel only (if im not mistaken). Truenas didn't recognise them at all and windows didnt show them as NICs.

Hi all, As the title suggests I am having trouble getting my Emulex OCE11102-N-XI nics to recognise any sort of connection between them. The connection is a peer to peer connection (for the moment) between a freenas server and workstation, all hardware is correctly recognised, updated (Driver version - 11.0.273.8008) and configured for a peer to peer network but windows detects that there is no ethernet cable connected. I am using a 3m passive dac and no amount of fiddling around or changing settings has any effect on this. This has been driving me crazy for a few days now so any help would be much appreciated.

So I have a few questions of trying to understand Fiber connector types and a few other things on Fiber networks. First thing is can any connector be on any end of Fiber patch cable. For example, does it have to be LC to LC or can it be anything like LC to SC, or can it only work some ways like, for example, I know LC to FC exists but does FC to SC for instance? Sorry for the bad explaining. Next, do you have to have the block connector things, not sure what there called but the things that hold each fibre cable side by side on when you plug it into an SFP transceiver, on to plug it into an SFP transceiver? Can someone explain simply what is the difference between simple and multimode? I've watched a few videos but can't understand. I understand that ISP's use "Simple mode" when running Fiber, but that has nothing to do with simplex or duplex does it? Because they need to offer you download and upload which is duplex, right? Last, so a Fiber switch is known as an FC Switch (Fiber Channel Switch), can this Switch accept any Fibre connector assuming you get a SFP/SFP+ (not sure what one) transceiver on the end of the Fiber cable connector? Thanks. If my questions aren't detailed enough please do ask me what i mean I'll try to explain in more detail and maybe with pictures...

Hi, This is my first post. In my company we are working on a new technique which i will not go in to. The data will be exposed over a 10Gbit DA/SFP+ (active copper) connection (vendor-less) but the actual data throughput will remain around 1Gbit/s. FYI there is no server/switch or any networking equipement involved. We need to convert this SFP+ connector to a more common (preferably RJ45 or 1Gbit/s SFP) connector. We are aware of the speed difference but maybe somehow you can suggest something to get around that. From what i found online is that it is possible but the equipment selection is quite vague. Can you guys help me?

So, I'm looking into using the SFP+ port on this NAS to get its maximum speed because gigabit isn't fast enough for editing. I'm wondering if this switch will allow me to use an RJ45 connection to get data TO the switch from my Ubiquiti gear, and allow me to use SFP+ to connect the NAS to the switch. Yes, I know that I won't get the maximum speed of the NAS anywhere else on the network that isn't plugged into the switch, but that doesn't matter to me, as this is for my home. Thanks in advance.

So our current HP switch in our personal rack at work only had 6x 10Gb ports so I decided to buy a new switch with 48x 10Gb ports and 4x 40Gb ports and I have to say its beautiful.

My ISP offered me fiber internet to the house, Everything was fine until I wanted to use the LAN ports on the back of the modem router switch access point combo they gave me. It didn't work. W/ a bit of research I found out the router is so broken only wifi works ( the DHCP server only works on wifi and doesn't work on LAN ) and I am tired of trying to fix it, because many people have reported the same problem. Either way, I was planning on buying this Mikrotik Router: https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_5hacq2hnd_in . My questions are: 1. Is the SFP+ port an input that I can use for the fiber that comes from my isp? 2. My isp gives me 1 fiber terminated w/ an SC connector. If Q1 is true, is there a way to convert the SC fiber to an sfp+ fiber, and, if so, with what equipment would that be done(product names and types for adapters?)? 3. If Q1 is false, recommend me some good fiber modems that accept an sc fiber input, if you know any. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, Can anyone clarify if the following SFP+ transceivers and cables are compatible? Tranceiver: https://www.fs.com/de/en/products/11552.html Cable: https://www.fs.com/de/en/products/41735.html I'm planning to use them with a TP-Link T1700G-28TQ switch (anything to worry about in terms of compatibility? Cisco seems like the most widely supported transceiver)

Hello I am building a pfSense based router (parts have not arrived yet) andi wonder two things: A) is it possible to run pfSense in a VM and pass the necessary NICs through? B) Can i use a Mellanox sfp+ NIC as my LAN output (i got an sfp+ switch whit 4 sfp+ ports) (i still want to use standard Gigabit in as my WAN connection)

I'm looking for a cheap, small multi-gig switch that has at least 2 10Gb SFP ports and plenty of Ethernet ports. The ethernet can be 10Gb or 1Gb, the main issue is the price tag.

I recently purchased a 24 port SFP switch from 3com off ebay, but I think the RJ-45 ethernet ports on it are disabled by default. The way to enable them is by telnetting into it, but to do that i would need to be able to connect a computer to it. The problem is, I don't have any SFP cables or NICs on hand to do this. Instead of buying an SFP cable and NIC, could i just use one of these adapters with a standard ethernet NIC? https://www.amazon.com/FiberHal-JD089B-Gigabit-1-25G-T-Transceiver/dp/B071R1RBX4/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1523224458&sr=8-1&keywords=FiberHal+for+HP+JD089B+Copper+SFP+Module%2C+Gigabit+RJ45+1.25G-T+Transceiver+Reach+100m

Hello Linus form mates, I got a question I took my home network a little bit to the extreme. So umm Yea here it goes. I originally bought a Netgear R9000 Router. This router has a SFP+ port. So I went to Ebay and bought a Mellanox 10GB SFP+ network card and BAM I got my unraid server running on my network at 10GB. WOOT. So I then decided with the cost involved not being that great I wanted to also integrate my R9000 Router. My meaning of integrate is to take it and switch it to access point mode and use the SFP+ port as my uplink to all my wifi devices as well I wanted to take my desktop machine located right nearby and also install a 10GB network card in it. So here goes my issue. I am looking for a used enterprise network switch that supports 24 port gigabit as well as 4 SFP+ ports (10GB) to interconnect my Unraid Server, Desktop Client, R9000 Router and my PFSENSE box. I already made the mistake and purchased an HP ProCurve switch which I thought would work but upon further review found that it only supports 1GB on the SFP ports. So back to the drawing board. As well FYI HP Procurve switches must use HP Transceivers or if not it wont work. You can go through telnet and play with the monkey inside but that is dependent on having the correct version and firmware. Of which I do not have. So Any information would be greatly appreciated I am as well going to continue to check the internet for any options. FYI as well currently the Mellanox 10GB network cards with DAC Cable go for $24.99 each. It is a steal when you compare an Intel Gigabit Nic is going for $70. Thank you for any ideas.
