So I'm upgrading to 10Gbps on my home network.
The switch I got is an Ubiquiti UniFi 48 port with 2 SFP+ uplink ports. This guy:
https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-switching-routing/unifi-switch/
I also picked up an Intel X520-DA2 that will go in my FreeNAS server and connect to one of the SFP+ ports on the switch.
I have a 2nd server (Emby Media Server) that I'd like to connect at 10Gbps as well. However, I'd like to avoid using the 2nd SFP+ port on the switch since I want to connect a workstation to it for large file transfers to the FreeNAS server.
So, since the X520-DA2 is a dual SFP+ card, would it be possible for me to just connect the Emby Media server directly to the 2nd port? The Emby server will need to be accessible from clients connected to the switch, as well as remotely from the Internet.
In case it matters, my router is also a Ubiquiti unit, namely this one:
https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-pro/
It is connected to the switch via a 1 Gbps SFP link.
So ideally, I'd like to be able to talk at 10 Gbps between each of the following:
FreeNas <-> Emby
FreeNas <-> Workstation
Emby <-> Workstation
To do that, the local traffic can't go through the router, since that would limit the traffic to 1 Gbps.
So can I configure FreeNAS to route that local traffic?
