PenkethBoy 2063 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yes and No its not just the watts you have to consider my NUC power supply provides 19v/6.32amps = ~120watts this would be max draw 6 amps over a lan cable !! it would glow in the dark if not catch fire - might be possible with special cables but cost would probably prohibit its use etc POE is fine for low power things like phones/ av cameras but not sure it will ever get to power high draw devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yeah, that's why I was asking questions. I wasn't sure how it worked and what it's capacity was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 OK ladies and gents. Talk to me about SANs. Are there special protocols in setting one up? And how do you integrate it into your other network(s)? Is this where you use layers in the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have another question for you network gurus. I've ordered some dual port SFP+ 10G NICs. I will be connecting both ports to the SFP ports on the switch (a temporary situation until I get a 10G switch). As I have learned from you guys, SMB3 will automatically detect and configure the bandwidth (two computers running windows 10 pro). Here's my question. If I also connect the standard LAN port that's on the motherboard (making a total of three connections), will SMB3 manage them all? Am I correct in thinking that SMB3 won't differentiate between an SFP port and a standard RJ45? Or is there a different protocol that I should be aware of? I guess that was more than one question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 i would leave the 1g unconnected - windows has a mind of its own which link it would use - and it will probably confuse it to have it connected and would probably stuff up SMB MP - with a potential 20g of band width why would you need it i have disabled mine (still connected) other alternative is have the 1g port on a different subnet (as mine are but disabled) system does not care about what the port connects with Question for you - i think you said you bought x540-t2 cards - which are 10g-base-t cards - how do you intend to connect then to sfp+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using SFP+ 10G cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 ok so you have a converters then for base-t to sfp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 if i understood you correctly you have 540's which have base-t connectors i.e. r45 and you said you were connecting them via sfp cables which will not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the ports on the card were SFP+, lol I'll get some of these https://www.amazon.com/10Gtek-SFP-GE-T-1000Base-T-Transceiver-connector/dp/B01C6P0GFK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1483898748&sr=8-4&keywords=sfp+to+rj45 Edited January 8, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) i would just connect to the switch with cat6a cable for now thats an expensive way to go - you will not lose any speed the x520's would have worked Edited January 8, 2017 by PenkethBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 i would just connect to the switch with cat6a cable for now thats an expensive way to go - you will not lose any speed How have you connected yours to your 10G switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 yes two 15m 6a cables as switch in other room - then two cat 6 (short trun) to my storage server - so 4No. connections currently with sfp+ between the switches they will work at 1g fine when you get your 10g switch just move the cables over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) yep plug straight into your switch sfp+ ports - trans are those things on the end those are fine for connecting switches together and would work with the x520 but you are fine for now no need to buy anything else Edited January 8, 2017 by PenkethBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I bought new cat6 cables. But when I'm looking at transceivers, 10G's are really expensive. I should have ordered cards like these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 why? the 10g base-t work the same and have the same speed cost considerably less only downside is length of cable - but i doubt you need over 100m and slightly worse latency which you will never notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's much cheaper to buy those cards than to buy the transceivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Just ordered these.
