September 9, 20232 yr Hi All, I am trying to get around to setting up Nginx reverse proxy on my server. I have a 4 port NIC installed from setup and it appears to be to be set to yes for enable bonding and bonding mode is active backup 1. Before i noticed this I ran another cable to my server and plugged it into a second port on the NIC. My thinking was that I could set Nginx with a different IP than the one my server and other apps are using. Would that be the way to do it? Or can I configure it with a different IP the way its currently set? If I turned bonding off would that release the other 3 nics with there own MAC address? And then I could give it its own IP. I did notice that VM’s get there own IP’s so maybe I am just over thinking it? Any help appreciated.
