December 9, 20214 yr Hi guys, I've got a NIC with 4x GbE (plus another one in the motherboard), and I want to make sure that my config makes sense. I can patch them all up in a managed switch if need be. First of all I need a solid connection to Unraid. Thinking about dedicating 2 of the ports to a failover-bridge for Unraid. I might even patch one of the connections up in my router to have a failover even in case the switch should die on me. Secondly I've got a VM that I want on a separate VLAN. Should I put a port on the NIC on that VLAN, and use that port for the VM? Thirdly I've got a Pihole docker with it's own IP. I've previously and successfully run this on the bridge set up for Unraid, with a fixed IP in the Docker settings. Is there any pros of moving it to a dedicated port? Open to ideas or input, this is not really a territory I know much about
November 27, 20223 yr Did you find any solution or ideas? I also try to run pihole but can't use DNS on Unraid itself and thought of a dedicated port as well
