Separate Mangement Interface

[chapandrew6]

I am new to using freenas. I would like to setup my freenas so I have 2 different network cards: One for Management, and One for ISCSI traffic. Is there an easy way to separate out this traffic? My ISCSI traffic is on a separate switch so I would prefer to have a second network card on FreeNAS that will handle all of my management traffic.

Yes, you can install a second NIC, configure it though interfaces then tell iSCSI to listen only on the IP assigned to the second NIC.

You also should set the allowed initiator networks(s) otherwise other devices on you main LAN could still connect if there was a route and iSCSI over routed IP is generally not a good thing to do.
