Video Description

Today I'm revamping my home lab network with more 10G! My new CRS312 can do up to 4 ports of SFP+ for fiber or DAC cables, and up to 12 ports of multi-gig (1/2.5/5/10G-base-T) copper, so I can connect all of the stuff I'm testing at high speed. It's also a router, too, so I can do inter-VLAN routing (both IPv4 and IPv6) at wire speed on the switching asic if I want to try one of those fancy all-BGP datacenter mesh setups.
