Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH
So we have installed a bunch of S7's on our network along with our existing SP35's. Every time we power on the S7 racks our whole network goes to shit....We have >150 SP35's and just installed >200 S7's. They are all static IP's on our 10.x.x.x VLAN. We've got layer 3 switches, and Pfsense router that can handle over 8 million simultaneous connections..... I don't understand what the ants could be doing to cause such havoc... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Day 3 of no sleep trying to figure this out....
Whats the hardware specs on the router? What switches do you have?
I just did a wireshark capture of the traffic from a miner. It basically just sends traffic back and forth the pool, and occasionally some ntp traffic. So no broadcast noise or anything like that.
I'm gonna put my money on crappy switches
You could try seperating the miners into smaller groups on their own VLANs, and if possible balance some of the load from the different VLANs onto different interfaces on the PFsense router.
Do you have a topology drawing? I'd love to help you out if I can.
