Sorry about the topic, but when I had asked a question before about
trying to tie into a wireless network through a pfSense box, your
answers to what turned out to be another OT question actually led
our IS group to give me full VPN access to the outside world. I
will be putting a pfSense box on our end of that connection. Thanks
again for that help!
As was apparent in that post I am pretty ignorant of networking
details, but do know that sometime in the near future I will be
looking for a decent network switch to tie 10-11 dual cpu machines
together into a cluster. Would anyone have a thought as to a good
switch for this?
The machines will have the Intel i210 Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet
controller, if that makes any difference.
If you don't need to do any fancy routing or VLAN stuff, just go on
Amazon or NewEgg and get the top-rated 16-port /unmanaged/ gigabit switch.
If you don't need fully managed I'd look for one a step up from fully
un-managed. I'd look for one with a Web interface so you can at least
see error rates and what MAC addresses are flowing through what ports. A
few $$$ more but worth it every year or two.
