I'm planning to use a Supermicro server as a low-end router, but I was blindsided by the fact that the Intel X722 card only supports SR and LR optics, but my circuits are DWDM and we only have ER and ZR optics.
My backup option is to connect the circuits to the switch and then from switch to router, but that will burn all 4 SFP+ interfaces on the Juniper EX3400 switch, so the internal interfaces on the router will either have to be trunked with the external interfaces or the internal interfaces are 1G only.
Is there a PCIe network adapter that supports ER optics (DWDM)?
