Would love to see them support ONIE for SONiC etc.

Also what is three-layer sub-interface to VxLAN is that layer-3 sub-interface to VxLAN support? or do they support some form of triple vLAN tagging.

@John R: …How many home users have this kind of gear?!…

I concur, but it’s not 0%.

I’m using a 36-ports FDR (56Gbps) switch equivalent to ~35 to 45GbE(*). Extremely useful for SMB, VM, database, large files over the Intranet. Due to to the supply chain SNAFU, used 100GbE is too expensive at the moment.

(*) used IB hardware is anyway and still less expensive than brand new “prosumer” 10 GbE.

STH forum is an excellent source of support information when you use this type of hardware at home 🙂

John R: some of us do, at least. Used 100G switches were actually pretty cheap for a brief while, before the supply chain mess hit.

FYI- on page 2 in the CLI section it cuts off between the screen shots:

“The CLI is fairly standard, but it is something that”

This website does make me laugh. It’s called Serve the Home but here we are reviewing a 32 x 100Gbe switch! How many home users have this kind of gear?!

The FS switches I’ve bought (S5860-20SQ) have been rock solid for nearly 2 years at this point. Optics as well. Just my 2 cents. Great value for the money.
