Has anyone tried using http://routerboard.com/Splus85DLC03D on Linux? How is the driver support?
Not me, but I’m currently using http://routerboard.com/SplusDA0001 with a SolarFlare SFN5162. I use both of these on a FreeNAS and a CentOS 6 KVM hypervisor hooked up to a CRS226. iperf results got me about 9.8 Gbps between the two.
That is just a transceiver for it alone there is no drivers needed. As long as SFP+ adapter in which you plan to use it has no SFP vendor lockin enabled it should be fine.
Hi, I was found this post when searching the Internet. So Im adding Solarflare SFN5162F to my X86 mikrotik with HP DL360 G8. But unfortunately, it didnt recognize. Can you advice how do you add your Solarflare SFN5162F to Mikrotik?
For your HP server, i highly recommend to have NC560 dual SFP+ NIC with Intel x520 chip.
Works very well with linux and natively supported by Mikrotik x86 version as well.
