Hi all. At the moment I have a Win2012 file server feeding my win8 workstation and seven win2008r2 render nodes connected via a Cisco Topspin 90 (SFS3001) 12 port IB switch with optional Ethernet Switch Module. It conveniently bridges my Ethernet LAN to my IPoIB network giving my IB machines internet access. However, my storage array is now faster than the Switch's 10Gbps speed so I'm looking to upgrade to 40Gbps.
My question is; what's the "best" way of bridging an IB network with my Ethernet LAN withouit the benefit of a multi fabric switch like the Topspin 90?
I really don't know that much about networking so "best" in this context means easiest.
Any advice is much appreciated.
