Colton, Maybe it is obvious to some, but I just want to point out that the reason Cumulus Linux publishes list of supported hardware is kind of two fold: 1st is Linux inherently doesn't program the hardware. So if you install Ubuntu on some Quanta switch, you still need a way to program the

I would second Peter's  advise.  Colton, for  you I would recommended you visit Cumulus' web site and follow their tutorials.  That should provide you with enough insights  for your next step.  On Saturday, January 20, 2018, 11:27:38 AM PST, Colton Conor wrote:

Peter, Thanks for the information. Do you have a recommendation of which distribution of Linux to use for this? Is there one that is more network centric than another? On Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 1:11 PM, Peter Phaal wrote: > On Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 9:32 AM, Colton Conor
