Hello and sorry in advance for what may seem to many like a fairly basic question.
I'm looking to build a 1U server based on the X10SLH-N6-ST031 motherboard from Supermicro. I'd be running either ESXi or Proxmox. My question is this: would it be possible to pass through the 1Gb ports to a vm running pfSense, and the 10Gb ports to another vm running an os which allowed me to build a six port 10Gb switch? I'd also run a vm which controlled an external disk shelf, but that would mean passing through a PCIe card, which I'm assuming should be possible.
Thanks in advance for your help...
