I agree, we recently got two APU2 boards to complement (not yet replace) two net5501-70s that have been running _very robustly_ for years. so far the APU2s are behaving reasonably well, so seems promising as a platform to migrate to. the one thing the APU2 lacks is the ability to remotely issue

Not complaining at all. It is just amazing how cheap the APUs are, that they don't cost much more then their racking kits and sometimes even less! On Thu, Apr 27, 2017 at 6:21 AM, Attila Kinali wrote: > On Wed, 26 Apr 2017 15:48:09 -0700 > Dan Shechter wrote: > > > I have replaced my failing 6

I've so far had good luck with CompuLab's Fitlet-X-LAN. Pretty good if all you need is 4 ports. Confirmed with Debian8 & Shorewall (and an admittedly short rule list) it can forward from port to port @ line-rate (TCP at 115MByte/sec). For clarification: this is a bridge setup with bridge-port firew

Thanks everybody for your replies. Several good suggestions, with Supermicro, PC Engines, and Netgate. Although, with the Atom processor discontinued, it looks like some of the smaller Supermicro and Netgate options are about to go away. I stumbled across this today: http://www.bitscope.com

Hey Tom, I've also deployed a number Supermicro boxes during a few month span when the net6501 was backordered using the "SuperServer 5015A-EHF-D525" (https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015A-EHF-D525.cfm) This worked as a good replacement since it has: - an internal USB socket

Do you have a rack mount case that you like? I have been a Soekris customer for 12 years and am just now shopping for a replacement for my rack mounted net6501s. The APU2 looks great but I will need to find a good 19" rack mount case for it as well. Thanks for any info you have Tom Parker On

I have recently installed 3 new systems (1 a soekris replacement) and 2 completely new installations. These are not rack-mounted, but they are fanless. The 1st was a PCEngines apu2c4, the replacement. The 2nd 2 were qotom-q310g4. units. The network ports on the Qotom units are not enumerated
