Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I work at an ISP who uses exclusively Calix gear for FTTH, we have a demo GigaCenter but haven't updated our E7 chassis to be able to test it out yet. I assume it would be similar to a 836GE. When we had a 836GE demo we didn't think the customer interface and such would be useful to most of our...
Messy, but functional home lab to learn production shit at work. I work for a small fiber ISP that mostly uses Cisco and FreeBSD.

My new sup card came in, now running IOS:

This is the power draw for the 6513. Not too bad, considering how its pretty close to fully loaded. Just ordered a sup card that has the routing processor, it'll be here Tuesday. Then I can put IOS on it.
Not sure on power load just yet, but it does not throw off too much heat, and the noise is not too bad, at least for me. The sup cards are WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE which means it does not have layer 3 at all and it runs catos. I'm in the process of hunting down either a daughter or newer sup card.
I figured it was worth it for the amount of ports alone, they are all gigabit and PoE capable. Worst case I can sell it for as much as I bought it for.
Just picked up a 6513 today for $400, I am still in the process of trying to flash IOS onto it because it is running catos. Its not going too well, having trouble finding a compatible image.
I will probably only have one or two windows VMs, one for domain and such and another for misc purposes. I intend to mostly mess around with linux but I ordered two 1TB drives just in case I needed them. I also intend on getting a NAS of some kind in the future as well.
I just ordered a server for ESXi and I got this SSD:

I was wondering if this drive could handle ~10 not very intensive VMs just for a home lab or if I would have to off load some of them onto normal HDDs, I don't want to burn...
I think I've gotten a bit of a problem, I have been running this for a few hours but the process that runs on my CPU doesn't seem to folding very fast ETA 125 days. The GPU processes are running good though.
I have a 1090T.
