Peter: When I used Net4801s i used to see about 25Mb/sec. My Net5501s will push 80Mb/sec and my 6501s will push about 200Mb/sec. That's with a somewhat small to medium firewall ruleset using PFSense. On 04/19/2013 03:07 PM, Peter Bako wrote: I have been (and still am) running a Soekris

[Soekris] Net5501 cases and temperatures

2014-01-31 Thread Christopher Hilton
I'm running OpenBSD 5.2 on a Soekris Net5501-70 in the standard case. This box is a bridge between two gigabit networks so it has a PCI-X Intel dual gigabit interface in the PCI slot. This machine has always run somewhat hot: $ sysctl | grep temp[0-3] hw.sensors.nsclpcsio0.temp0=81.00 degC

Christopher Hilton kirjutas: hw.sensors.nsclpcsio0.temp1=127.00 degC (Remote) which creates a situation that I want to remedy. My choices are: Buy a Rackmount soekris case and install a fan Replace this box with something that's got a little more power like a Net6501 www.routerboard.com

Bad form, Alvar. There's no rule that you have to like Soren or Soekris - but hanging out on a help/support forum for a product to advise everyone to use something else is a classic dick move. For what it's worth, Christopher - I have used Net6501s in plenty of places around my work

Alvar, bad call, dude. Even if u had problems its not nice to broadcast and advertise other products on a competitive forum. @Chris: There have been similar discussions before. Even the cheapest fan on the market would make an improvement (big improvement if using the small box). Of course if

[Soekris] Hard drive bracket for 6501-50

2014-01-31 Thread Fred Weston
I purchased a 6501-50 with the standard 1 slot case. I also purchased a hard drive bracket and a quad port ethernet card. When I opened the case up, it looks like I can have the quad port ethernet OR the hard drive but not both. Is that accurate or did I order the wrong bracket?
