Mixing different NIC Speeds (1Gb & 10Gb) Performance Problem Question
-
I'm also probably going to pull out the X550 Nic and go back to the X540 onboard NIC, only reason is that with the X550 the power consumption increased 20+ watts.
I was able to get it booted with the onboard nics re-enabled, total of 4 nics now. But that step already has nuked my NDI key. When I swapped to the X550 support gave me a new lic key but they said I could only do that once. Being I've had so much trouble here do you think they will reset once again when I go back to my original onboard NIC which should be my original NDI. I really dont need plus, just thought I would get faster updates to security patches, if that is not true I could go back to community edition and be happy ?

Is the NDI simply reverted to the old one?
Send it to me in chat and I'll check it.

Hmm, well now that I have 4 nics successfully enabled I could plug a client into IX3 or IX4 directly and try some speed tests. Not sure if i would need to configure any rules or settings to allow traffic to pass ?

If you put the server there you wouldn't need and rules, outbound traffic to it from a client would already be allowed. Unless you have policy routing in which case you'd need a bypass rule.
