I recently upgraded my homelab core switch to a Mellanox SX 6012. It’s 12 ports of 40gb/s, and each can break out to 10gb/s. This switch also idles at 30 watts which was top of my list.

What model switches are you running, and do you like it?

Looks great! That one is managed, right? Do you use their software or install a different FOSS setup?

It is managed, I haven’t seen a FOSS firmware for this. I don’t think it has a Cumulus or OpenSwitch release. If it did I would take that over EOL proprietary.
