Interface model assignment
-
Hi, our organization has recently purchased two https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C236_C232/X11SAE-M.cfm motherboards that have two network interfaces, one of them is Intel i210-AT and another is i219LM, we are wondering which of them should be assign as WAN and LAN.

"The main difference between i210 and i219 is i210 supports 802.1Qav Audio-Video Bridging (AVB).Sharing the links to their product brief documentation."
I would use i219 for your WAN connection and i210 for your LAN, as you're more likely to use bridging on the lan side. Also there may be a slight difference in power usage between the two.
