Hey Guys,
I've got another noob question. I've searched around a bunch on the net but I'm not really even sure what exactly I should be searching for.
My FreeNAS server is plugged into my 4-port router which is connected to the internet. I have one ethernet connection for the server interface and one ethernet connection for IPMI. I would like to use the remaining 2 ports to connect other computers in the house. That said, I have an 8-port POE switch that I would like to use for connecting security cameras without using up router ports or bogging down the router with internal network traffic.
My Server Mobo has 4 ethernet ports (plus a dedicated IPMI port). Can I plug my switch into one of the other mobo ports and have it operate as if it was on the network with everything else? Is that link aggregation? Is that what the "Interfaces" tab is for under "Network"?
Thanks :)
