My quick upgrade to 10Gig networking..

More to come from this upgrade. But I am looking forward to faster connections between more PCs! Trick is...getting more PC's....

FYI a better way to test you connection speed is by using Iperf3 that will actually test the connection of your nics without the bottleneck of you ssd(s)

Even if you don't use the smart switch stuff... You still need to 1. Change the password. 2. Keep the firmware up to date.

Gotta have a way to stream all that LEGALLY OBTAINED CONTENT at max speed around the house. 👍

The main workstation NEEDS a name. It cannot be sitting in Asgard with no name. I submit for approval.... Baldur (one of the Warriors Three).


Also, glad you found a 10G copper solution. I went and rebuilt my pfsense router with 4 10G copper ports and added a 1G/10G POE switch for my main computer and other smaller devices at my desk (Raspberry Pis, PS4, etc). My speeds between my 2 unraid servers and my may computers top out at 800Mb/s. Adjust the MTu on your Windows computer to 9000 (Device Manager>your network card>Properties>Advanced Settings). Thanks for the vids, and enjoy your holidays.

You can use DAC cables (copper) in your SFP ports too. For example, you can use 10GB DAC cables between your switch and your servers or switch to switch.

[rushtard]

looks like the 4-5Gbps is because your 10Gbps is bottlenecked by your ssd on wich your docker is hosted?

[supplyordie]

LOVE the precision tool of the grill spatula to open the box! lol

[williamgoodman]

Yes you can configure the Cisco and the Netgear with LAG ports.

[edseit]

Generally speaking you can go into the smartswitch software and LAGG ports or bond them together, but both sides of the equation have to support LAGG.

[raybrown]

Anything you are plugging into your new 10g switch you NEED to replace any of your CAT5 cables with CAT6a or better cables to sustain 10g speeds without speed degradation or other odd issues.

[nickdvorchak]

you should look into Direct Attach Copper cables. They're like fiber, but copper and made for short distances, like going inbetween your two switches. They use the same SFP/SFP+ ports that fiber optics use, and can deliver the same speeds, espically for the short distance in your setup.

[prescan]

You could add a Trunk / Link Aggregration (LAG) / LACP between the switches. Maybe link 4 single gig ports over, if ports are available. Make sure both switches support same kind of aggregation.

[giornikitop]

use lperf for the test, also you need to activate jumbo frames and up the send/receive buffers to their max in the nics and the switch. getting full 10G in a mixed enviroment (linux, win etc) needs abit of configuration. the switch will get louder if you have a lot of active 10G connections, now with only 2-3, the SoCs are not being pushed enough to get warm. i don't believe the cd is viruses, it just has the user manuals. once you get it all working properly, it's a nice upgrade overall.

Jason.... Don't be afraid of SFP+ and Fiber. I use OM3 between my office MikroTik switch, connected to a TP-Link with SFP. There are 4 OM3 lines from my office to my basement, where I have a 24 port TP-Link...with SFP and my 2 servers in a rack. I'm not 100% 10 gig yet, but my connection is 10 gig from my PC to my servers, through the MikroTik. Fiber is easy, relatively cheap, and as long as you don't bend it smaller than 17mm, you're good to go! I'm getting 7-8 gig transfer rates into my raid 0 Plex server. But hey, wire as you wish! Happy Holidays!

Connect the two switches with 4 ethernet connections in a link aggregation group. It will really improve performance.

[billstarr]

Minimum length Ethernet cable is 1 meter. You can not connect two devices with a cable shorter than that. It causes issues.

[gryg]

The best thing about this switches is that they are power efficient (in comparison to other brands). I got 1Gig version and it works perfect in rack which is in my office.
All best in New Year!

[abnrm]

It's not a smart switch, it's a managed switch :) Grats on the upgrade, I'd like to have 10gig too, but I'll just trunk ports if I actually need anymore than 1gig.

[rdsii]

I know this is an old video, but I just scored an Aruba S2500 Layer 3 managed switch. It has 4 10BGE SFP+ ports and 48 1GBE POE ports. My home lab is about to get a blue iris server and serious speed upgrade.
