Hi,
I have just built my first FreeNAS, the board (Asus Q87T) has two NICs, one Intel and one Realtek.
When I built, as I didn't know which port was which, on first boot I put the network cable into the one that turned out to be the Realtek card. Then when I built a VM, the only hardware option to attach to the VM was the Intel NIC (which makes sense).
Everything is working fine, but after seeing some throughput issues on large file copies and reading some (mostly annecdotal) posts that Intel NICs are better, I now want to reverse that situation, and have the Intel NIC serving the NAS and the Realtek NIC available to attach to the VM.
Is this possible? I can't work it out.
Thanks!
