Etern4l Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 I have a couple of devices that would provide opportunity for bonding / link aggregation. Specifically one could do 2x2.5G, and another 1+1+2.5G (if that's even possible, probably not). Thoughts on switch options with 802.3ad support? 1 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are." -- Max Tegmark AI: Major Emerging Existential Threat To Humanity
Custom90gt Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 What devices are you trying to bond? You're not likely to find a 2.5gbps switch that is managed for less than $300 afaik. You could do a true 10gbps setup for much less. *on edit* Here is an example: https://www.adorama.com/qnwm21082sus.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwtp2bBhAGEiwAOZZTuGqXUrZgBJ1d125PMArTIkbr5xeR1MCOt4TB5Bnw0pSzpZugv0OPHRoC8mQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&utm_source=adl-gbase-p 2 Desktop | Intel i9-12900k | ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F | 2x16GB Oloy DDR5 @ 6400mhz CL32 | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra | AW3821DW| 980 Pro 1TB PCIe 4.0 | All under water | Server | SM846 | Unraid 6.12.0-rc4.1 | AMD Epyc 7F52 | Supermicro H12SSL-I | Tesla P40 24GB | 256GB 3200MHz ECC 8-channel | 100+TB ZFS | Backup Server | SM826 | Unraid 6.12.0-rc4.1 | AMD Epyc 7302 | Supermicro H11SSL-I | Tesla P4 8GB | 256GB 2133MHz ECC 8-channel | 100+TB ZFS | Dell XPS 9510 | Intel i7-11800H | RTX 3050 Ti | 16GB 3200mhz | 1TB SX8200 | 1080P |

Etern4l Posted November 20, 2022 Author Posted November 20, 2022 Yes, I ended up looking at the Qnap models, they have some around $300-400 as you said, but the white consumer variant seemed kind of flaky (according to a review), and 802.3ad bonding sounds like more trouble than it's worth in my case. Grabbed an unmanaged 2.5G TPLink for now, will upgrade to 10GbE if this feels like a significant bottleneck. The use case is mostly comms with the NAS at this point, which doesn't really have the I/O to support 5GbE or 10GbE (although a large, like 2x2TB SSD cache would probably improve things if badly needed). 1 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are." -- Max Tegmark AI: Major Emerging Existential Threat To Humanity
