#floss #networking I need to replace a couple of old network switches.
Are there any companies doing open source switch hardware and software? I would like to tinker.
- 1U
- 12 or more10G fiber ports
- a couple of faster uplinks would be nice
- decent RESTish API or ansible support
Something like https://vyos.io #vyos seems suitable but it looks like I would have to diy my own hardware
