We discussed possible solutions on IRC and the following purchase request would allow us to likely remedy this situation. The Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe is a router implemented on a PCIe board. It would let us tease the functionality apart (partially) and let us manage and protect the server better. We will use the following components to do this, as we are not allowed to add more kit to the rack. https://www.streakwave.com/mikrotik-ccr2004-1g-2xs-pcie-cloud-core-router-20... https://www.streakwave.com/mikrotik-s-rj10-sfp-rj45-10gbps-copper-module These are currently out of stock at Streakwave and Baltic, so I will need to look around for alternative suppliers. Total price is likely to be around $300 with shipping and tax. We are seeking board approval. -Doug- _______________________________________________ PSDR mailing list PSDR@hamwan.org https://mail01.fmt.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr _______________________________________________ PSDR mailing list PSDR@hamwan.org https://mail01.fmt.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr
