10 Gbase T

Question

Hello, 
 
 I am currently looking forward to migrate my LAN to 10 GBase-T. 
 I want to use regular Cat6/7 copper cables, no SFP+ devices. 
 
 Are there any NICs that Sophos XG Home does not support? 
 
 Thanks and best regards, 
 Mathias

Mathias, 
 looking at the drivers loaded on v18, the following intel modules are loaded already: 
 ixgbevf ixgbe_nm 
 Looking at Intel website, you should go for the NICs with this chipset: 
 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/14687/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCIe-Intel-10-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Connections-Under-Linux- 
 - The ixgbevf driver can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV. It supports all of the above devices except for the Intel&reg; Ethernet Controller 82598. 
 Module igb are also loaded for the SR-IOV. igbvf igb_nm 
 I presume that the Intel Cards in the Intel list will work. 
 Regards

Ok.On advanced shell, run the following commands: 
 lsmod | grep igb 
 lsmod | grep ixg 
 you should see somethig like: 
 ixgbevf 57344 0 ixgbe_nm 335872 0 
 and 
 igbvf 45056 0 igb_nm 208896 0 
 If these 2 are returned, drivers are there and loaded.
