Right now, my 10gb network is in a sort of a line. I have a workstation connected to a Mikrotik 2 port switch, and the other port is connected to my ESXI server. I'd like to add a 3rd server into the "line".
I was considering putting a Chelsio T420-SO-CR into my esxi box, and then connecting my 3rd server into the 2nd port on the Chelsio. I read that the Chelsio has an internal switch? Has anyone done anything like this? Is there danger in doing it this way. I'd just really like to avoid a $500+ switch.
