Hi,
Currently building a new freenas box on a supermicro board with multiple nics. My main PC also has multiple intel nics. I want to use teaming on both ends to increase transfer speeds. I currently have an el cheapo Dlink 8 port gigabit green switch. I need something with more ports.
This is for a home + home office network.
Was looking at a 16 switch. Apparently for teaming to work properly on both send and receive, a smart/managed switch is necessary - is this correct?
Is the Dlink DGS-1100-16 (http://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DGS-1100-16) sufficient?
or should I go for something more expensive such as a netgear managed layer 2, etc?
Netgear M4100-D12G (http://support.netgear.com/product/M4100-D12G+$28GSM5212v1h1$29)
Please advise
