Struggling to configure my home-lab setup and hoping to get some guidance if possible. My configuration is a 3 server setup, 2 Windows based machines and my FreeNAS box. I have all three connected via SFP+ with a single port 10g card in each windows machine and a dual port in my FreeNAS. No matter how I configure the 10g nics in FreeNAS it always shows media status as no carrier. I have tested all cards and cables in various machines and they all work but just not in this configuration.
Server1 = 10.10.10.1
FreeNAS 10g port 1 = 10.10.10.2
Server2 = 10.10.20.1
FreeNAS 10g port 2 = 10.10.20.2
I originally wanted both 10g interfaces on FreeNAS in the same subnet because i wanted both windows servers to be able to communicate using FreeNAS as the "go between" to pass the traffic (have had it working on 3 windows based machines so i know it is sort of possible) but in researching I found that FreeNAS does not allow two separate interfaces to be on the same subnet.
any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.
