Dipping a Toe into 10 Gig

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

I have decided to take the plunge into 10 gig, but really just a 10 gig card running at 2.5 gig speed. It replaces a 4 port Intel I350 card. I just upgraded one switch to 2.5 gig, so I felt this was the time to make the change. I bought an Intel X550-T2 card. It fits perfectly in my Lenovo M720q PC.

I am going to upgrade the boot firmware to the latest under 30.4 of the Intel network tools. Are there any gotchas with the X550 and OPNsense? I feel like its really a straight forward build.

Thanks,
Steve
