I’ve finally been connected to a fiber connection 2,5/1Gbps! 🥳
Now I want to share my connection with my neighbor and so I’ve installed 3 PCIx dual 1GB nic (I’m out of PCIe slots 🤷♂️).
The connections comes from my OPNsense to the server (Proxmox) via a 10Gbps fiber connection.
I want OPNsense to take car of firewalling dividing the neighbor networks with VLANs. The OPNsense part is done and working, I need to assign to each of the 6 1Gbps NIC each VLAN.
I’ve tagged the traffic going into the server via the fiber connection, but now how can I assign each VLAN to each NIC?
Thanks!
Edit: Proxmox has nothing to do in the equation, it just happens to be on the same server where the NICs are.
I know that it would be better to use a switch, but I would need a 10Gbps (or 2,5Gbps, do they exists) switch with 2 sfp+ port (1 for Internet connection and the second one for the server). In this way I’ve just bought the 3 old NIC for 25€ and that’s it. I know that they will consume way more than the switch, but how many years do I need to break even?
Well it depends on how much you pay for power and what your pc consumes at idle (or at least idling while doing networking). I’d do an analysis and a graph with excel to make sure. Many old (used) networking components can be had for a steal and will still have many years of use still left in them. Use a kill-a-watt to get an accurate account of idle pc power.
