Hi everyone,
I will be starting my new colocation experience in a few weeks and have never colocated any server before so kind of a noobie when it comes to setting the networking and all and just need you guys help and guidance
I will be getting a 3U colocation space and i will be given 2 power outlets, 10TB on 1Gbps uplink with 3 Ipv4 addresses.
What i want to do is get the Dell Poweredge C6100 2U with 4 node servers and then get a switch 1U making total 3U colocation space.
Now as i said before this is my first experience and i do not have much experience with networking except at my house..basic router with wireless configuration.
Now i need help in guiding me to achieve the following.
I want to power on all 4 nodes of the 2U server and connect each node with 2 ethernet ports...one for ethernet connection and the second for remote management IPMI interface...so making total 4 x 2 = 8 ethernet ports from the switch. I want the server nodes to communicate with one another.
What type of switch do i need. Yes i get 1Gbps uplink and i will like to get a switch with all port 1Gbps since it connects 10/100/1000Mbps which is a no brainer whether server node with hit 1Gbps or not.
Also will this setup be good? since i get 2 power outlets and i connect my server and the switch with each of the 2 outlets.
Also what tutorial or youtube video do i look at to learn about how to set this thing up? and be able to run my web/database/storage/backup servers all from my setup?
Thanks for the help in advance!
