<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Noggers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re having “fun” with 10GB NICS, Switches and SFPs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We can’t work out which is causing drop out, packets.. we are somewhat certain packets are vanishing into the Ether..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t know which is causing what. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not after troubleshooting, I am curious what people’s view on this.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you buy 1 Vendor for all your 10GBs, A-Z, is there some hidden rule about mixing vendors, is this all trial and error (and very expensive at best)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any recommendations on set ups? Preferred Vendors, Vender to avoid like the plague. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re talking Servers to Switch kind of thing. Not SANs etc. Good ol’ HyperVisor to the switch.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks <o:p></o:p></p>
