My main computer specs are in signature and it runs Trusty. The new box is going to be in the same 25U rack as my main computer and I'm considering FreeNAS for the OS. The NAS server uses a Supermicro X9SCL-F and Pentium G2030. This mobo does include IPMI which I want to take full advantage of from my Trusty computer. Now for some questions Like I promised:
1. For static IP addresses (computer and NAS), how should I pick them from my DHCP range? Does it matter?
2. Is it true that the static IP does not have to be in your range and it's better if it isn't? I don't understand this.
3. I have two Ethernet ports on my Trusty machine. I'm connected to my home network using 1 of them as eth0. Can I configure my unused Ethernet port to connect to the NAS IPMI Ethernet port and manage it privately, off the LAN? (yes, I understand I will not be able to remote in, but I prefer this level of security, at least to start with. Later, I'll probably get bolder).
That's good for now. I think I read on this forum that posts should be limited to no more than 3 questions up front so there you go. I have more which I'll tailor to the responses. Thanks so much.
