Hi guys. I need a sanity check creating a second subnet connecting 2 TrueNAS servers and a Desktop. The current setup has all computers as part of a regular 1Gb network (192.168.1.xxx). That will remain in place.
In addition to that I have 3 40Gb dual port cards and I would like to daisy chain them across the 3 computers on a new subnet (192.168.3.xxx). There are no other devices on this subnet. The purpose of this subnet is (1) to have fast access between the Desktop and NAS#1 and (2) to have fast access between the NAS#1 and NAS#2 for replication. All other access “paths” between these machines or between these machines and others can take place through the existing 1 Gb 192.169.1.xxx subnet.
I apologize in advance as I’m not a network person at all… Can you help me figure out if this is the correct hardware list to make this work?
- 3 x Chelsio T580-LP-CR Dual Port 40GbE QSFP HBA 110-1164-50 MSIP-REM-CC2-T580
- 4 x Chelsio SM40G-SR QSFP+ Transceivers
- 1 x 30-meter “Cable Matters 40Gb OFNP Plenum Rated Multimode Duplex 50/125 OM4 Fiber Cable (Fiber Optic Cable, LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable)”
- 1 x 3-meter “Cable Matters 40Gb OFNP Plenum Rated Multimode Duplex 50/125 OM4 Fiber Cable (Fiber Optic Cable, LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable)”
Any tips or caveats I should keep in mind while configuring this?
Thanks!!
