Even the older Arista and whitebox QCT stuff is less than $200-250 per switch. For a lab, I'd rather use something that once lived in a datacenter than something consumer-facing like Ubiquiti.
- vvanders 8y agoWell that's the beauty of a homelab, I can run whatever I want in it. Since it's all just for experimentation I don't see an issue running 1gbe. For what it's worth I did give a 3x bonded lcap link a try but since Ceph uses a single connection per node it doesn't scale across the aggregated link. However at the end of the day if I don't want to keep the kid up at night I gotta run gear that doesn't sound like an F-18 at full throttle.
