Ínitially I wanted to replace Cisco and Ubiquity devices with VyOS but did not want to run a full blown Hypervisor at that locations. Instead I opted to get one of the new Intel Atom C3000 CPUs to spawn VyOS on it.

Shopping Card

  • 1x Supermicro CSE-505-203B (19" 1U chassis, inkl. 200W PSU)
  • 1x Supermicro MCP-260-00085-0B (I/O Shield for A2SDi-2C-HLN4F)
  • 1x Supermicro A2SDi-2C-HLN4F (Intel Atom C3338, 2C/2T, 4MB cache, Quad LAN with Intel C3000 SoC 1GbE)
  • 1x Crucial CT4G4DFS824A (4GB DDR4 RAM 2400 MT/s, PC4-19200)
  • 1x SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB (USB-A 3.0 SDCZ43-032G-G46 mass storage for OS)
  • 1x Supermicro MCP-320-81302-0B (optional FAN tray)

Optional

If you wan't to get additional ethernet ports or even 10GE connectivity the following optional parts will be required:

  • 1x Supermicro RSC-RR1U-E8 (Riser Card)
  • 1x Supermicro MCP-120-00063-0N (Riser Card Bracket)

Latest VyOS rolling releases boot without any problem on this board. You also receive a nice IPMI interface realized with an ASPEED AST2400 BMC (no information about OpenBMC) so far on this motherboard.
