Recently purchased my first house and am setting up everything for wired networking, for me thats the easy part. I have everything running through a d-link DGS-1210-28, I haven't used any of the switch management features but so far everything on cat6 ive plugged into seems to be working fine.
However there are 4 much faster (twinax?) Connections on the switch id like to make use of on a few of my machines. I have a few mellonox conectx2 cards I picked up a while ago but never got around to setting up until now, one is installed in a windows 10 pc that recognized the card just fine however the status light on the switch never lights up and no connection is ever detected.
I'm not sure if I'm missing some key steps here or if my cards are just too outdated to play nice with win10. I'm ussualy quite comfortable with computer issues but this is my first attempt at a deeper network solution and any suggestions would be appreciated.
