In this short video, I will walk you through my 10 Gbps routing test lab with OpenWRT. I am using 3 SFP+ ethernet adapters from Mellanox, the Mellanox Connect X3. 2 adapters has a single SFP+ port and 1 adapter with 2 x SFP+ ports.
With OpenWRT 21.02, the driver for Mellanox Connect is available and I just need to install kmod-mlx4-core to get the card up and running.
For Windows and Ubuntu, the drivers was built in and basically it is plug-n-play.
Due to the high workload, I don't have enough time to complete the video in this week. In the next video, I will share more detail about the SFP+ ethernet adapter, DAC/AOC cable and hardware. We will run some iperf and speedtest as well.
Thanks for watching and see you all in the next video!
