Home 10 Gig Network Upgrade for CHEAP

[@FinlayDaG33k]

1:02 "wow terrible name" Until you actually look into what it means and start to go: "Huh, that's actually quite clever". Seriously, compare CRS-312-4C+8XG-RM to something like "UniFi FlexHD", "UniFi AP HD", "UniFi AP SHD" and "UniFi Switch 16 PoE Gen2" and you'd actually be surprised how much easier it is to see the ports it has without having to look into the entire specsheet... For those wondering what I'm brabbling on about: - CRS: Cloud Router Switch - 3: series 3 - 12: 12 wired interfaces - 4C+: 4 Combo 10G/SFP ports - 8XG: 8 5G/10G Ethernet ports - RM: RackMount

[@FinlayDaG33k]

@Gus Erland the wires inside are actually thinner tho, mostly different quality ("purity") of copper. The real difference between cat5e and cat6a for example is the better alien crosstalk, allowing the frequency to go up to 500MHz as opposed to 250MHz on Cat6 and and 100MHz on Cat5e

[@FinlayDaG33k]

@Gus Erland Ah yes, I'm totally clueless. That's why I am taking my network engineering exam next month? :^) Let's grab the book shall we? - Operate at 500MHz instead of 250MHz of Cat5 or 100MHz of Cat5e - higher purity copper, resulting in less losses over distance - same AWG wires as cat6, ever so slightly thicker wires than cat5e (I guess you're right here) - tighter twists - a "plastic piece" in the middle to limit crosstalk - thicker insulation around each wire There you have it, the both of us were right. Happy now?

They turned part of a small building next to their house that they used as storage (i think) into a kitchen/living room combo and used to spend most of their time in that place. Years later, they converted part of their garage (which is in the "main house") into another kitchen/living room combo and now they spend most of their time there. So, in total, they now have 3 kitchens and 3 living rooms, and i'm sure they don't even use most of their other rooms because they live alone (their daughter lives 20 mintes away). We really end up spending a lot of time in a single room.

[@MikeHarris1984]

That is a strong tape... the Cat5 ripped in half first... I run all Cat6 standard for many years... I know this is 3 years ago... I had my house built 3 years ago and the company doing the low voltage was STILL doing Cat5e as standard (in 2019!) when I had been using Cat6 for about 5 years.... They made me pay an upgrade fee to change to Cat6 on my runs.... The guy was telling me, oh yeah, you dont need anything over CAT5e, and if you put in 6, thats all you'll need for the rest of your life... I said Cat5e has been around for 20 years, how could you still be using that!?!? And I said I will use all Cat6 and then some when Cat 7 and 8 and 9 and 14 and 18 come out! I had to explain that I am running all my cameras (18) and 4 AP's, and I have a complete server rack FULL of servers and network equipment and lots of other gear. And all my smart home setup... I had to show that I did indeed need CAT6 and dont tell me that BS about it being good for all i'll ever need... I"m NOT your typical customer and dont downsell me so you can pocket more money by getting CHEAP CAT5e... He had never pre-wired for anyone with AP's, let alone 4 of them, and PoE cams. I asked about running fiber lines where I wanted them and at first he was like "the ISP can do that" and I said, no, not the DMARC to the wire closet, I mean wire closet to Rack and to a few other places where I need 40gbps drops for my internal network. and he was like yeah, we dont do fiber... And they wouldnt let me run my own fiber and cable, I HAD to pay them :(.... I ran my fiber lines after closing... This was a production builder in a very high end community... My next home, Wife and I are purchasing land and doing a 100% custom build the way we want it... shoot for net zero and then I get to run ALL my own cables and fiber before they begin drywall...

DOH! CONDUIT DUDE! Whenever I can (time/money/difficulty) I ALWAYS fit conduit in awkward situations! THEN adding or replacing cables to runs avoids those issues you were having. No need for more expensive electrical power rated conduit either. Low cost flexible or hard pvc pipe can solve many issues! I have TWO 32mm runs through my stud walls currently, one flexible for hidden TV cables (DC power, AC Mains), HDMI, , etc and the other one is a straight drop 40mm pvc drain pipe for running Ethernet cables down to the ground floor void under the suspended floor from the upstairs floor void. Left it with a draw cord to make adding cables a piece of proverbial. Soon there will be another 20 conduit runs including 2x32mm, the rest 20mm for a complete lighting automation system. All light controls will be 5v ONLY, with NO mains in the walls except for wall lamps. All mains connections to lamps will be via opto isolated relays from one control box. LOTS of mains cable conduit used too, to ease replacement of existing mains runs with orange ZHLS Cat5e control cabling. All power cabling then via conduit to the above ceiling voids upstairs and downstairs. MUCH, MUCH easier for upgrading later as/when needed for 10G or even fibre in the future!

A few years later a switch with the same performance and features would cost less than $50, and be passively cooled...

I'm still surprised how costly 10gbe is, the standard was ratified in 2006! (10GBaseT) which was 13 years ago and it's still rare in the consumer world.

I went a similar route, minus going CAT. I went Fiber Optic. Bought (2) Dual Port SFP+, 3 in total (1 was 49Y4252 EMULEX) off Ebay for less then $10.00 a piece. I see today they want to extort people for $179.00 a piece (Melanox) used, Just like NVidia - they bought Melanox. 2 in servers and one in my main rig. Ran 2 SFP+ Copper from the 32 core servers about $20.00 a piece and 2 Fiber Optic cables $12.00 a piece for to my rig upstairs through the register :) I do not currently get 20 Gigabit, but I do have 10G redundancy. I used the 4 port MicroTik. CRS305-1G-4S+IN ($144.49 off ebay - cheaper today). Jacked into a 32 Port Router / Switch that Google used to use less then $50 off ebay (has dual 10G Uplinks - used one). I did have to buy 4 transcievers (MikroTik S+85DLC03D) brand new cost me $55.00 total. I can easily max out 10 Gigabit - 1.2 GB a sec. I do have plans on upgrading the Mikrotik router. CRS309-1G-8S+ Hopefully then I will see 20 Gigabit. Basically raid 2 X 10 Gigabit ports. I have since shut down both 32 core servers down and replaced them with a 3900X It has dual PCIE4.0 Raided NVME, 8 X 8TB (raid 0) & 2 X 10 TB (Raid 0) raided drives. I plan on completely removing Gigabit from the house. I do have my information backed up, so give me some slack on the raid 0 ;) I do build Operating Systems. Makes you wonder what my main Rig has does it not? I promise you. I do not have a mechanical hard disk or a SSD for that matter in my "Main Rig". I am all about speed. 20 Gigabit is roughly 2.4 GB a second across the network. I could also instruct a sever to build this or that, with the quickness. That router they all come online?

@Linis Tech Tips - #protip, you can't see the actual difference (the one that makes a difference) by looking at the ends of a 5e and 6A cable. The main difference between 5e and 6A cables isn't the plastic separator "cross" between the pairs - that is vendor specific and exists on plenty of 5e cables too, and has done so for many years. The difference that enables the increased speed is the way the twisted pairs are twisted. It's necessary to twist the pairs differently to reduce crosstalk between pairs, because if one of the wires of a pair "meets" a wire from another pair repeatedly, it will increase crosstalk. 5e solves this by having the wire pairs be twisted differently, i.e. the brown pair could be twisted tightly/frequently, while the green pair could be much looser/infrequent. So the chances of random encounters between the same wires would be greatly reduced. This has an unfortunate side effect, as the brown pair in the example becomes longer per feet of cable than the green pair. And this difference, over a longer cable run, can be enough to have data arrive at different times and thus makes it necessary to reduce the speed (frequency). As this difference grows over the length of the cable, it is also the explanation why you can run 10G on a short 5e cable run, but not on a long one. 6A solves the problem of wires "meeting" differently: By having each wire pair be twisted in a tightness/frequency that changes along the length of the cable. So now, the brown pair might be twisted very tightly at one point, and then later on in the same cable be twisted very loosely. And the wire pairs are then put in at an offset, so that they will always be twisted differently in a given section of the cable. That way, the pairs don't "meet up" still, but the wire pairs end up pretty much the same length, which means the transmission time for each wire pair through a cable run will be very near identical, and thus, speed or frequency can be increased no matter the length (providing the cable is not longer than specifications), as opposed to 5e, where it'll work on shorter runs but fail at some indeterminable point a long the way. So rather than looking at the end of the cable, to spot the difference you would open up some section, like 3 feet, of cable and look at the way the pairs are differently twisted. :)

Cat 6A is augmented category 6 and rated for 500 MHz vs the Category 5e which is rated for 100 MHz only so its definitely a good upgrade :) for those of you who are worried about the price you can get a lowered 10 port with similar specs for around 170 otherwise a 1 GB 8 port switch can run you around $30.

An Asus XG-C100C user here. A while back an AQC107 firmware update, atlflashupdate_1.4.2_3.1.90.zip was available for download from Aquantia's site. So I used it (via Windows 10 1903) to update my XG-C100C's firmware from ver. 1.5.44 to ver. 3.1.90 in order to successfully remedy an infrequent and intermittent dropped network connection issue. I then repeated said update with equal success on another XG-C100C I had bought as a backup. Shortly afterwards atlflashupdate_1.4.2_3.1.90.zip was removed from Aquantia's site. I sent them an e-mail asking why. Their response was noncommittal. (Note: I subsequently learned that Aquantia was in the process of being acquired by Marvell around this time. Hence there may have been some policy changes afoot.) However, I soon found an alternate and reputable source for atlflashupdate_1.4.2_3.1.90.zip. Here it is: Solo10G Firmware 1.4.2_3.1.90 www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=538&expand=_a13&action=b1063#b1063 All of the files and the readme in the above .zip are identical to those found in the one I previously downloaded from Aquantia's site. From said readme: "AtlFlashUpdate is a tool for updating firmware on AQC100, AQC108, AQC107, AQN100, AQN108, and AQN107" Sonnet Solo10G PCIe Card | Sonnet www.sonnettech.com/product/solo10g-pcie-card.html One more thing: If I had to buy another AQC107-based 10G Ethernet card I would definitely choose between the Aquantia AQtion 10G Pro NIC in the OP's link or the Sonnet Solo10G PCIe Card. Why? Because in addition to both units having a ventilated PCI plate, they also sport a spring-loaded heat sink which suggests the use of thermal paste as opposed to the thermal pad found under the stand-off-mounted heat sink on the Asus XG-C100C. Relevance? I recently upgraded Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon's stock kernel ver. 4.15.x to the 5.3.0-19 kernel that's part of Ubuntu 19.10 and discovered that it can read the AQC107's temperature sensor. It currently reads 59C even though the XG-C100C is only connected to a 1G Ethernet switch. Fortunately the CM 690 II that I use has two vertically aligned 140mm side fans which I can ramp up next summer. Those who prefer PC cases equipped with vanity windows are unlikely to have that option.

If this will helps, whean configurating the mikrotik switches and routers better use Winbox software, dont know what you use but i think simple using browser, configure RoMON that you can connect to device without any filter rules = saver things, you can also make many DHCP servers and VLAN rules for your servers to keep saver and separate devices from your normal devices like normal use laptops or phones, in ip>firewall>service ports change the ports you like beceose many of ppl like to try enter your cr using standard service ports and also if anyone can connect to your internet provider network and use scan in winbox, can see your device. In ip>firewall>nat you can make ports rules also in connections you will see all connections in and out to your network. Make in firewall filter rules flood protect rule for make your sarvers saver. In ip>dhcp server>leases you can easly make static adresses rules, also you can see there alerts. PRO TIP - you can play music on your mikrotik switches and routers using scripting, you all can find in google serch. Think about that, flood rule starts to working, someone attacks your server, router starting the script to block that and also plays imperial march from star wars :D. there are almost everything you can do with this router. PRO TIP for ppl working in internet providers - if some company have many of radios from mikrotik and you dont know what radio you need to service, someone who can enter to this radio can play for you any music to locate the radio, we have many of SXT radios for clients and whean you reech the roof of building and see 6 radios .... that can helps 10gbps you can also reech using 2 x cat 5e cable, using any cables outside better use cables with gel inside, that will make water out from the inside of cable.
