SHAHZAD KHAN Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 What is the benefit of Dual interface in a single host running unRAID? I understand Link Aggregation. The host is running in a small home-lab. Quote Link to comment
MrGrey Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 None? (unless there's more or I missed something). MrGrey. Quote Link to comment
MAM59 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 For a small lan with less than some dozen clients, it makes no sense at all. There is a very theoretical benefit that it may help you if your dog bites through one of the cables (failover), but if you have a nice pet, again the benefit does not exist. Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 A common use case is adding a 10GbE NIC to your server and direct connecting to a desktop/workstation for fast access to your data, where the rest of your network would normally run 1GbE. Quote Link to comment
primeval_god Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I assign different IP addresses to each interface and isolate one from the webui and use it for docker containers. Quote Link to comment

Agreed. You can bridge two interfaces and use second one with containers. The traffic is coming in using second interface but outgoing traffic is still using primary interface. Dual interface is not optimally used. Am i missing something here? Quote Link to comment

I am not sure i understand what you mean by bridge. The containers are exposed through one interface and the unRAID UI through the other. Quote Link to comment
