So I’ve seen a few Nexus 3164Q Switches floating around on eBay recently, and was wondering during if anyone has an experience with these, or any recommendations in terms of getting one into my homelab?
The ones I’ve seen have been £150 for 64 Ports at 40G, which seems like it could be really fun to play around with.
But I don’t really want to spend the money on the switch and the network cards and cables if it’s not going to be possible to use. All I’d really want to do with it is bond a few ports together and maybe set up some vlans to start with.
If anyone has any insight that would be great! Thanks
I would avoid these at all costs. Things absolutely scream more than any server even you’ll find and you need like 3 nuclear power plants to run them.
It’s a good switch though, if you have a data center and power/cooling budget of a corporation
