Hi all!
I need help setting up the network adapters in my newly built DIY NAS.
I have a rather superficial knowledge of networking technologies, and just getting started in Linux. (I probably wouldn't even have started if I hadn't assembled a NAS-server for myself).
I am going to use the server also for video editing purposes, so I need a fast network. There is 10GBase-T network adapter with two RJ45 ports installed on the motherboard.
For my main computer, I also bought an external 10GBase-T Thunderbolt network adapter (Sonnet Solo 10G).
I want to have the maximum speed between the main computer and the NAS. (I understand that the speed limit will be SATA3 600 MBytes/s and the Samba protocol, but I would like the faster is the better).
At the same time, the rest of my home network has a speed of 1G. It is built on a 1G-router that is connected to the internet. The router has a DHCP-server that distributes IP-addresses to all connected devices. I do not plan to change the router - it works fine.
Apparently, I need approximately the same network configuration as I depicted in the picture? The first 10GbE port in the NAS-server I connect to the router, the second port I connect to the main computer, right?
And one more important question. I've installed OMV5 on the NAS. There I saw the settings of the network adapter (System / Network / Interfaces). I have not yet figured out what Bridge, Bond, VLAN, Ethernet are, and how they differ.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to configure port in OMV that will connect to the main computer using the 10GbE protocol.
Thank you!
