Question about the compatibility of QSFP28 cards / Intel E810

hrx

Hello everyone,

As the following two cards are currently not available at Netgate, we have tried to find alternatives. As we buy from fs.com from time to time, we also looked here this time and found the following possible alternatives:

1.)
Netgate:
https://shop.netgate.com/collections/expansion-cards/products/2-port-25-gbe-sfp28-card

FS:
https://www.fs.com/products/147578.html

2.)
Netgate:
https://shop.netgate.com/collections/expansion-cards/products/2-port-100-gbe-qsfp28-card

FS:
https://www.fs.com/products/141788.html

Could someone perhaps give an assessment of whether these cards would run with pfSense?

Many thanks!

I would expect those to work in pfSense Plus at least since they are E810 based using the ice(4) driver like the NICs we sell. But I've never tested them. And I can't vouch for specific compatibility.

@stephenw10 Thanks Stephen! We'll give them a shot in the 8300 appliances if the cards you sell will not be on stock for the next two weeks.

Best regards,
