PowerEdge 2650 with Multiple NICs - Setup?
Hi. I'm relatively new to the server environment, but just comfortable enough to do some serious damage. I have a question regarding multiple NICs and the best way to setup and manage them. I'm running Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition in a "small business" network (10 mixed envinronment machines total). The only requirement for this server is to handle file sharing responsibilities - many files that will be stored on this machine can range between 10MB-100MB (graphics and illustrations).
My Poweredge 2650 has four connections available on two NICs. What is the best way for me to setup and manage these connections so that I can maximize the transfer throughput? One user may look to transfer one large file while another does the same on a different machine at the same time. I do not want there to be any drop in speed. I have a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit (dual port) and an Intel PRO/1000MT Dual Port card. I appreciate any advice. Thanks!
