I have a dual port nic on my Supermicro 7049GP-TRT workstation, with a Supermicro X11DPG-QT motherboard. It has two 10gbe ports on it.
Here's the scenario:
I have a single 10gbe wire to my switch. I need to put two servers in this room, but I do not have a 10gbe switch. I do not want to dumb down to 1gbe with a 1gbe switch. I was wanting to configure one port to passthrough so I can plug a second server into that port, and have them both on the same subnet. I am running FreeNAS on this server. Any way that I can do what I'm proposing?
Thank!
