Link Bonding in IPMI vs FreeNAS Link Aggregation

[cyberjock]

Cyberjock, can you please explain your direct connection using 10GigE? How did you make the NAS and your desktop work with the rest of your network? It sounds like your NAS and your primary desktop had 2 ports each, one of them 10GigE, and you used the 10GigE ports to connect directly to each other, with the other ports connected to the rest of your LAN? Does that even work? Did you have to create static routes between your main desktop and the NAS over 10GigE?

I am very curious about getting this implemented, between my main PC and my NAS.

That's exactly what I did. Of course it works. You just have to know enough about networking to run 2 networks side-by-side without conflict. ;)

Thanks, cyberjock. Do you mind giving just a little more detail? Like, did you have 2 VLANs plus a static route, or something else? Cat 6 cable? I am just looking for a high-level guidance, not a step by step handholding. Appreciate it.

No VLANs, cat6 is for my 1Gb LAN and fiber for my 10Gb.

Thank you, sir.

I also have the same setup as Cyberjock the trick is to have the normal network connection on a different subnet from the 10Gb e.g.

My destop - 1Gb Lan IP: 10.0.1.20/24 10Gb IP: 10.0.50.20/24
My Freenas - 1Gb Lan IP: 10.0.1.21/24 10Gb IP: 10.0.50.21/24

I also add the freenas 10Gb IP in the windows hosts file so I can use computer names to access freenas 10Gb

Thanks for the info, Alex.
