10GB SFP Nic for RouterOS

RouterOS General
1

As the thread title suggests, I’m looking for recommendations and info from anyone using 10GB SFP Nic’s in the RouterOS devices.

The only current listing I can find in the wiki: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Supported_Hardware#Ethernet_chipsets
Is the following: Intel 10Gbit Ethernet PCI Express 3.17 Works

Any suggestions on good 10GB cards you’ve used in other servers will be taken into consideration and I’ll try and arrange myself some loan cards to test.

I have tested Intel x520 cards in a test environment and they appeared to work well. You can get these for a reasonable price from Dell I have found as well…

Heheh, yeah that’s our site.

MikroTik have announced the SFP+ CCR but no word on SFP+ modules as yet..
