Hello all,
So recently I purchased a server off ebay.ca. Now without thinking about it I didn't notice that the only way other then the impi to connect the server to the network is using the dual 10Gb SFP+ ports.
For now I would like to avoid upgrading the entire network to 10Gb. I have found some 1gbit rj45 transceivers but I am unsure as to if they would work in the server for taking the 10Gb spf+ port down to a 1Gb rj45 port.

Server: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/262775015169
Transceiver: https://www.amazon.ca/FiberHal-Gigabit-Mini-GBIC-1000Base-T-Transceiver/dp/B01M28FRRS
Model of Nic provided by Ubuntu intel: 82599es 10 gigabit sfp+
If this is possible I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
