Two FreeNAS boxes on a subnet...

[kss18]

I have two FreeNAS boxes on my 10.10.10.xxx subnet and am setting up the jails. In Jails -> Configuration, can I have the same IPV4/24 address range on both the machines or do they have to be non-overlapping?

My understanding is that it should be ok to set the same jail IP address range on both machines, say 10.10.10.201 - 10.10.10.230, but have to a assign distinct IP address for each plugin on either machine.

What is the preferred setup? Is there a best practice?

Correct.

There isn't. It depends upon your network setup and what you're trying to accomplish.

Thanks for clarifying.

The trick is, is to IP all gear on your network.
I leave 00 to 10 for roam
20-30 for servers
40+ for my PCs
50+ for printers
Just write down the IP and work it out
