Hi there,
I just upgraded from an EdgeRouter Lite to the EdgeRouter Pro, and I am looking at doing a more advanced setup.
I am bringing in a rack of servers soon and I want to put them on their own network separate from my home network. This will allow me to do cool stuff like use QoS to rate limit the server network, have a separate bandwidth graph for the server port, and so on.
However I have pretty fast Internet here and I would also like to be able to use the servers locally. I have two concerns here, I don't want the internal traffic to mess up my bandwidth stats, and I don't want the internal traffic to saturate the Internet connectivity for either network.
So what I want to do is set up each network to have two ports on the EdgeRouter, use one port for Internet traffic on that segment, and use the other for routing between the two local subnets.
I tried getting it set up, but it was doing something weird by default where inbound traffic used one port and outbound traffic used the other (at least that's what it looked like was happening).
Is the configuration I want possible and can someone point me in the right direction?
To reiterate, looking at the diagram below, I want two have two networks. I want to use the orange cable for Internet connectivity to that network. I want to use the red cable for internal traffic between the LANs.
Thanks!
