I have a dedicated Cisco switch specifically for local access (non-public) for purpose of bandwidth traffic not getting calculated for backups among local servers, naturally. All servers have their usual public ethernet cables hooked up to a public Cisco switch. For specific servers I want to do routine automatic backups to the local freenas box, I also hooked up a 2nd cable from the server to the private switch.
Now, the question is how do I properly assign a local static IP address so that all servers locally can connect to the freenas? I can access the freenas via public web and ssh of course but locally, I've never done that setup before.
Would appreciate help. I did find this guide but not sure 100% about this, as both em0 and em1 have the same public IP assigned to them. Plus, it states to reboot after, so I don't want to lock myself out if the setting is wrong.
