ATI HD 290X 8Gb passthrough to windows 10 VM (working on it).configured to be able to run with 1, 2 or 3 nodes onlineĪ Gaming Desktop curenly trying to run Proxmox and ceph on SSD's.I also have 3-Node Proxmox-cluster (no ceph) 24x 0.5-8 TB Spinners (what ever i have/had laying around - 2x HBA + Backplane(s)).1 for OS (as of yesterday) previously 2 for OS using ZFS-Raid-1.10x 32-256 GB SSD Sata 3 (what ever i have/had laying around - onboard).OSDs split by HDD/SSD/NVME - no journals - Cache tier + EC pools all the way.4x10Gbase-T onboard in a single Bond using openvswitch.I have a single-Node home lab running ceph.
I guess netgear is better on this one right ?ĭ-link supports 128 vlans and netgear 64 but I guess 64 would be more than enough right ?ĭ-link states quite a few features about vlans and netgear doesn't, but maybe there are also included ?ĭ-link supports 8K MAC address table and netgear 4K.
Will I be able to use QoS per vlan on a single port with these switches to avoid saturation ?ĭ-link supports static trunk and netgear supports IEEE 802.3ad manual and LACP. 1100/Datasheet/DGS_1100_Series_Datasheet_EN_EU.pdf I'm choosing between this two switches, both look very similar: But I don't know if syncing the disks will cause me a problem with 1Gbps links. This way I would get ~5Gbps for storage access with msata. What I want to do, which I don't know if it's possible, is that each node would use the local storage and this storage would be replicated between the two/three nodes.
It's true that if I have a single network card with multiple vlans I can use it to limit the traffic between vlans so none of the vlans can saturate the whole linkįor the ceph setup, I'm planning on using two msata disks, one in each msi node, if it's not possible I can use glusterFS or some other setup. I know what QoS is but I just didn't know how I could use it. You can mitigate that cost by using an unmanaged dumb switch because you wont be needing vlans/lacp/multicast for that network. Such as Ceph will need a 2nd switch for proper setup for Ceph cluster sync. But this wont give you proper learning edge as you will be limited to few things. Thats probably the reason you are going with 8 port switch. I understand for Home environment you dont necessarily want to invest great deal of money on. This also could be a storage network such as ZFS, NFS etc.ģ.
For example a Proxmox cluster with Ceph may have 3 networks.ġ. This is also for my home lab environment.Įven if you are going with just 1 8 port switch, i do recommend that you use multiple vLans to keep each network separate so that you can mimic the learning as close to the real thing as possible. Only place i use small 8 ports are for Internet entry point for firewalls. I agree with Q-wulf, i also dont really use anything less than 24 ports smart switches just for the convenience of plugging more things or just create more LAGGs. To answer your original question, no besides vLan, Multicast and may be QoS as Q-wulf mentioned earlier, there are really no other feature you need look for.
