All things computer, server, client, software, hardware, networking and technology related. I will post primarily how-to videos along with a few other surprises. A casual stroll down the avenue of Storage Area Networking (SAN/NAS), DIY home comm closets, streaming broadcast, performance tuning, and a random tip snack. Generally speaking all things Information Technology related are game on this channel. I'm always willing to take suggestions or requests if you have a burning question on topic. Of course I make no guarantees, but you never know when things might get crazy.

No web gui available for vyos?
My question would be is it really worth it to build your own compare to an already built switch? I'm looking at it between the price point of a homelab and a datacenter. it's awesome to build your own network switch and all but not sure other then a costly of cards as well as motherboard with a lot of lanes on it.
You could do this with for example 25 or even 100 Gbe cards ?
Good video, but the music is loud and annoying.
Watching this in 2023 and it's so useful. Thank you so much for uploading this!!
i really want you to do another one of these just for testing see if there is any better software or see if it will even really work
If I wanted to connect 3 PC’s would using a dual port card in each of them and then connecting each pc to the other two work? Alternatively - my main work station is the only one which actually needs to talk to both other PC’s So could I connect my main workstation to my render server AND my storage server using a dual port card?
what MTU would i need for a: HP InfiniBand 10GB/40GB
Thankyou for sharing.
More than 7 years later, 10GBit has hardly caught on in the home. Too expensive, too much energy consumption and too short cable routes. In contrast, 2.5 GB on the old CAT6 cables is slowly catching on
It’s disappointing to me that more progress has not been made with 10Gb options. As the NBASE-T/MGBASE-T standards improve I think we will get to 10Gb once 2.5/5Gb becomes more standard.
So what would be the purpose of a 10gbit switch if a direct connection is possible?
this video series is bout to get me into some very nasty trouble with my wife XD ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wow this was very useful for me, thank you very much for this very well explained video. I would like to know if on this switch I can create vlans. I'm going to build one of these and would like to use vlans in my vmware projects. It is possible ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Absolutely! Here’s the link to get you started: support.vyos.io/en/kb/articles/vlan-sub-interfaces-802-1q-2
Awesome video
Are these Chinese version any good? I see that Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT has a Chinese version sold on eBay as well as a Made in Israel version which I trust is higher quality.
Curious.. you mentioned early that it was based on Debian, but then at 9:34 I see its running BSD.
Thanks11
Hiiii, this is honestly the best tutorial I've ever seen. such a comprehensive and detailed video. thank you sooo much. however, I'm sad that this video was 6 years ago, hopefully you are doing well and nothing happened. <3 please reply if you have another youtube channel or planning to come back <3 <3 <3 much love
That was awesome! Really learned a-lot! Thank you for this well detailed video!
Video got blurry at 13:30 onwards for me for some reason.
and clears up at 15:02 needs to be fixed as can't follow your commands at all
I followed all the step from your video. But two PCs cannot even ping each other.
Dude, this is like a $1000 system. Do you have something that might be just a bit cheaper like using some stuff around the house or left over parts, how about using an old i3 4150 or something like that? Like if I had the money to buy this I wouldn't be looking to build one bro.
I'm starting research into how to build a multi purpose machine that is both a nas and switch. Do you have any ideas that could help?
I’m a Mac user: this is way to complex for my smart brain
can you tell me what infiniBand is all about please ? thank you
standar fan using 0.18A, is it ok installed with lower amps?
Hello, purchased installed HP NC523SFP 593717-b21 593742-001 593715-001 10Gb network card driver & added to HP z840 workstation slot 5, but i am getting error always when system boot, Windows 11 pro installed...How can i resolved it...???
Whats annoyingly loud….. the video’s background music.
What did you use to make your network diagram?
Forgot to mention that Vyos is 1000 euros a month...
Not at the time it wasn't.. they went to the pay for model later. Look for TNSR.. there is a home lab version.
Here I am, aping gigabit with a USB Linux.
what OS did you use
Hi there. great video! Only issue i have is im trying to do this on a desktop based i5 PC. The only option in the bios that is remotely similar to those advanced options you specified is enabling Virtualization technology. Are those options really necessary? You sounded full of conviction so im assuming they are important... but how important is my question? lol.
Still Have the maximus II formula Special edition. The northbridge has a stock water cool block attached. Also have the same case. Currently it is a NAS.
Aand now I'm going to try out Vyos. I like that CLI menu.
bloody music while filming about a netgear switch. can do with out it thanks
Hello. What is your EBAY username....I saw your vlogs on KZread. I would like to purchase pci cards......THANK YOU.....I'm building my home lab.....
Anything you would update/recommend since I found your video in 2021? I need to transfer large 100gb+ files constantly throughout the day from computers A and B to computer C
Very nice video... great content, great delivery and easy to digest.. Thank you
I've ordered a couple of PCIe X4 Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN PCIe 10GbE MCX311A-XCAT CX311A Controller cards have i made a mistake not getting PCIe x8 cards? or is x4 fast enough for single port cards in a PCIe Gen 2 x4 slot? I think by your diagram it should be ok at 16Gb/s Bandwidth? Thanks!
Was this viable back in 2016? 10Gb switches are getting cheaper and cheaper year by year, so nowadays this only gives you customization benefits, the cost and power requirements are pretty high
Nice job but the camera work was WAY to close and WAY to fast... gave me a headache.
Although not as cool or flexible, you could also create a 10g peer to peer network if all of the client machines had dual-port nics with both ports bridged on each nic. Then you would just daisy chain them, like an old 10base2 network. Actually the two end computers would only need 1-port nics. You'd also need to set up routes on each machine for the 10g network. Now that I think about it, this method is stupid. Forget everything I said.
Thank you for this!!!
This kind of made my brain hurt. Need to watch it more than once.

Thanks. Nice video and excellent understandable diction and pronunciation. Why don't you use just bridge tools in some centos or like?
I remember this when it was first released. Can we have a 40gb update??
Great video! Thanks! Wondering why you didn’t virtualize the Vyos install via hypervisor. This way your system is not just dedicated for 10g switching but can be used for other purposes. Finally, your rational for doing a custom 10g switch was to save money on enterprise 10g switch but then you end up dedicating your whole system (super micro mb, 4x10g nics etc) for switching. May be I missed something or just misunderstood your part 3 video. Regardless, the idea & the presentation is great & useful. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this excellent series ! I am learning a lot and can't wait to put it into practice.
