Hi guys,
while the server's coming together just fine I could now focus to other issues. My old RT-N16 will be retiring soon and another dd-wrt asus coming along. As I have phones, printers, etc - and soon a freenas!! with dual port gigabit - connected to the network I need an 8port switch.
I would like one which is capable of handling the trafic from the freenas, reliable, looks OK in a home environment (preferably LED on the same side as the ports) and I don't have to rob the bank to get it...
Also - just to show how noob I am for server stuff - another related question: should the IPMI port be connected to a switch if I want to monitor the server from my ThinkPad?
Thanks
