Re: mount NFS share over specific nic?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have 4 nics each on all the servers (DL385-G7 for FreeNAS and 4 x DL585-G7s) so dedicating a couple for NFS traffic on their own subnet is no problem.
We may even go for 10gig on the nfs if the performance increase can be justified.
