40Gbps and LAGGs - Is too much bandwidth a thing? - Very Basic summary - 15

I am verry happy to announce that the 40 and 10Gbps Laggs are operational.

Each server now has 10Gbps LACP LAG, resulting in a 20Gbps effective BW and the uplink going to the pfsense firewall has a 40Gbps LACP LAG, which results in a 80Gbps Effective BW connection.

Setting up the switches was very simple with the dell GUI. I have to admit I was a bit reserved on whether or not it would work, but with the manual by my side, everything worked out ok!
MTU has been changed, connectivity is present, and all the servers which need over 1Gbps connectivity have it.

The wonderful thing about over 10Gbps BW is that anything that needs essentially full access to a piece of HW located on another server, basically has it!

don't worry about the red flashing light, it just means the 2nd PSU is not plugged in.

I have a few other subjects which are going to be on the way fairly soon, I'm really excited to share it with you all.

Happy Blinky Activity lights!
