@winterschon@bsd.cafe Do I see two fiber optic cables going into your workstation? 👀
What do you have there, 2x 10G in LAG?
@albonycal@fosstodon.org That’s an Intel X710-DA4 4-port NIC, which you’re quite correct about… 2x 10G lagg with a bridge on top, the other two ports are similarly lagg/bridged with one port disconnected during an optic swap.
@winterschon@bsd.cafe may I know the usecase? just curious
@albonycal@fosstodon.org use case for the lagg/bridge: the lagg(s) provides link failover for connection redundancy, and the bridge(s) offer transit for network connections to/from jails and virtual machines located on the host
use case for the host itself: it’s a development resource which allows me to run (and break/fix/iterate) code and infrastructure locally, prior to deployment in staging / load-test / production where things cannot be readily iterated in the same lackadaisical adhoc manner.
