82599 won't work, broadcom cards are the only one known to work at the moment. Mellanox/Solarflare etc all are not known to work at all atm

Normally mini PC all use Mellanox/82599 cards, I have yet to see any of them using Broadcom cards and Broadcom/Qlogic is the only ones I see that supports HiSGMII

No, 82599ES A.K.A. X520-DA2 won’t work with 2.5GBe
If you can find one, I can only find them on eBay to import through GSP/3rd party reshipper from US to Malaysia

I tried with 4X10gbe card, the lan card required active cooling.

Success, now time to figure out how to pass through voice VLAN to my opt ports

Broke the 940mbps limit, not quite 1Gbps but my network is not quiet, will test again with no active network devices on it later




Just broke it, ready for 2Gbps upgrade

I just use all the default info on your GitHub page, except PLOAM password, should be fine?
Power consumption causing the 2.5G port unable to start. My Aquantia 10G/5G/2.5G/1G transceiver was causing bxe0 (My GPON port) it, removed it(bxe1) and immediately started working on bxe0

Checked again on TB and will be purchasing another 10G transceiver (RTL8261), 1.9w approximate power consumption wise to see if BCM57810S/BCM57840 can run it beside the GPON ONU. Hopefully will be compatible but if BCM57810S has issues with two ports, the BCM57840 dream might be long gone

Yeah that will work as well, I think the guy does have custom solution for 2x BCM57810S and 1x 2.5GB. Or just with BCM57840
Yeah that will work as well, but IDK I feel like that’d be defeating the purpose of a small AIO. Yeah the converter is not big by any stretch of the imagination but the need for 2 separate plugs is annoying to me.

if going that route, you technically just need 2x SFP+ transceiver, 1 negotiating at 2.5GBe and 1 negotiating at 10GBe as uplink

You’ll have to use DOS/UEFI to patch it with ediag, boot it up with USB and patch

It’s just to enable 2500-BaseX since BCM57810S doesn’t support it OOTB

Also remember the power consumption issue, use low power transceivers whenever possible

It is very much depend on area. When I transfer my Unifi to Digi fibre 100mbps, I get 99mbps to 100mbps. Then transfered to Maxis last month, I get 92-95mbps. On Unifi it is always around 103-105mbps.

Good for you can get +100%. Did they pull seperate line for your 2gbps?

if you have 10G LAN, try create PPPoE Server then iperf two end points, see how PPPoE client use CPU

I should be able to fully move into dedicated machine for router with just single BCM57810s or a modified M910x
