Hello,
I just installed an Intel quad NIC into my server, and I'm trying to see which NICs (em2, em3, etc.) match what physical ports on the NIC card so that I can assign them to the correct VLANs.
I was going to just unplug NIC cards and see which NIC lost a link light, but I'm not seeing any change:
Is there a way to do this, or do this some other way? I'm using a Cisco Catalyst switch, maybe try disabling NICs on FreeNAS server and see what ports go down on the switch? Are the quad NICs generally numbered from top to bottom?
