10GbE NIC Recommendation?
«

I'm currently working on segregating my network into various vlans/subnets. I have a 10GbE Ubiquiti switch and an Asus RS200-E9-PS2 server that I'm using for my firewall. In my quest for network segregation with 10GbE, I learned that because my gateways are on the firewall, with a 1GbE connection, I'll be limited to 1GbE between devices on vlans that do communicate with each other.
With that said, I've had success with Mellanox Connectx-2s and 3s for SFP+ NICs in ESXi, Debian/Ubuntu, but don't know if these will work with OPNsense/FreeBSD? Can anyone confirm or recommend an SFP+ or RJ45 10GbE alternative?
Thanks!

ConnectX-3 and up will work with 19.1.
Intel X520 are also pretty stable ...

I'm assuming that the X540-T2 cards work as well? If I can utilize the RJ45 10GbE NICs on my switch, maybe that's the way to go....

Is that from personal experience or are they not supported?

Personal experience. Most Intel cards are supported, also most Chelsio and Mellanox with 19.1

Try to find in the new FreeBSD hardware database (new-gen bsdstats):

I use X710-T4 in VmWare environments and they work great.
Home lab is X540-T2 and they have no issues besides netmap errors when running inline IDS.
