Hi, I'm testing Unraid in a computer lab environment and have been instructed by my IT department that I need to isolate the management web interface on a seperate IP address on an isolated network port. So Unraid web management would only function on one network ethernet port and all other data, file sharing, VM's, etc would exist on another network ethernet port. Is this something that is possible with Unraid? If so, does anyone have direction to where I can find this information? Thanks in advance, Dylan

thanks Jonathan for the reply. I think I am going to go for the Supermicro server instead of Ryzen.

Hi Everyone, Been using Unraid since 2018 without any issues. An amazing piece of software. So here's my question. Been running Unraid on a used Enterprise Supermicro server with dual Intel® Xeon® CPU X5675 and 24GB DDR3 memory 24/7 for four years and it has been a solid workhorse. I use it for a NAS, Plex, Nextcloud, Minecraft server, bunch of dockers and a couple of VM's. It usually has enough power, but I've maxed out what I can run without it slowing down. It's time to upgrade to a more powerful system and I'm not sure which route to go. Since I had success with a used enterprise server, I am considering going that route again, this time with another Supermicro with 2x E5-2680 V4 - 2.4Ghz 14 Core CPU's and 128GB DDR4 memory. The motherboard is a X10DRU-i+. This server can handle two GPU cards and can hold 14 drives. The cost for this is between $1200 & $1400. I know it will eat a lot of power. I am also considering building a Ryzen system from scratch. I would like to stay under $1600 for the budget. I know the Ryzen system will eat less power than the Supermicro. I haven't built a PC in a while, we've been in Apple Eco-system for a while, so I'm not up to speed on contemporary computer performance. So given the choice between buying a used enterprise server or roll you own Ryzen system, which would give the most performance based on the budget? Can a 12 core Ryzen outperform a 28 core dual processor Intel? I know it's a vague question, but I need to start somewhere. Thanks in advance, Dylan
