The home lab journey continues. I was a “good enough” boy last year, so Santa dropped off a Unifi Aggregation Switch. This completes my back end “core” for my standard networking and NFS storage for my Proxmox servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also updated the uplink to the Netgate 6100 to connect to the USW Aggregation at 10 GbE. (One day I will get around to upgrading my Internet link to over 1 Gb\/s but based upon usage, that is low on priority list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems to be a fairly “well known” issue, so I have to replace that. No good deal is ever that good, unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
