How can I DAC connect a intel x520-da1 card with a netgear gc110?
Hi I bought a 10Gtek® für Intel X520-DA1, 82599ES Controller 10Gb-Ethernet-adapter (NIC/CNA), PCI Express 2.0 X8, Single SFP + Port and I want to connect it with a Netgear gc110. I tried a cable from...
Can't promise the compatibility (I'm not Netgear) is you intend to stick with a DAC and the SFP+ cable a the switches require an SFP+ (10G) port, like the Insight managed GC728X (with two SFP+, plus two SFP for linking the GC110 SFP for example), or a MS510TX (one shared SFP+/10GBase-T).
If you could consider to switch the X520-DA1 to something with a 10GBase-T interface (if the host is permitting, drivers are available, ...) very affordable Aquantia AQtion AQC107 based PCI cards are readily available in the market, like the QNAP QXG-10G1T - then you can look for any switch with 10GBase-T - for the Smart Managed Plus you can start from a GS110EMX, for the Netgear Gaming Switches the SX10 (GS810EMX), ...
At the end of the day, it depends on what other systems you like to connect, what other port/speed types, what kind of management you expect.
The GC110 does not have SFP+ ports able to run on 10 GbE - in the SFP/SFP+/Fiber world, there is (different from standard Ethernet on copper) no speed negotiation. A X520-DA1 can only be connected using a DAC cable to a device with SFP+ running on 10 G.
One point to check - does the X520-DA1 driver have a control to config it to 1G?
Thanks for your help. No, I can't not change the speed. For which Netgear switch minimum I have to go at least?
