Hello everyone.
I have asked this on proxmox forum and got some info. Haven't time to test it out yet. But as I wait to get into it I thought I ask here. As a more general forum I might get more info to work with.
So here it gose.
I have a Proxmox home server based in supermicro x8dt3-ln4f mb.
It has ipmi and 4 nic.
2. Xenon x5670.
64 gb ram.
Proxmox 5.3-8
Now my question is network related
What would be the best config for fast reliable network setup here.
Now this is home setup. All machines are connected to a netgear 48 port switch. It is a managed switch but I use it more like set it and forget it setup. As all my machines are linux and managing app is windows only.
The whole networks is
Cable modem connected to pfsense box which is my router and firewall and all other things I may want.
That box is connected to the switch.
All other clients are going into that switch as well.
The Proxmox note as it sits now configured like:
All nics are plugged in into switch.
Nic1 is set as port to vmbr0 a default setup. Other nics I have been experimenting with bonding and connecting it to vmbr1.
But I do not get ip on it or through it.
FYI: all connections are set as dhcp and I do the ip reservation on my pfsense box. It makes easier to navigate by hostname as the ip and names are assigned and reserved on router. I always get the same ip on the same box.
So what is the best option for me here?
How do I get best network performance?
Thanks.
