Hi, Since I will hopefully soon have a fileserver running, I consider upgrading my LAN to Gigabit, so as to handle the load (my fileserver is capable of sustaining around 30MB/s from its RAID arrays). However, there are a few things I'm a bit uncertain about: Since I use m0n0wall as the firewall between my LAN and WAN (ADSL 2Mbit), I guess that I don't need to equip the m0n0wall PC with a Gigabit NIC. This is assuming that there will not be a problem connecting the 100Mbit NIC in m0n0wall with a Gigabit switch. I further assume that the same goes for any wireless accesspoint I might want to use on the LAN, which would either be connected directly to the Gigabit switch, or to m0n0wall through a 100Mbit NIC on OPT1. Are these assumptions correct? If not, what kind of problems should I be aware of and what else could I do? I would also like to hear about any specific Gigabit hardware that is known to work well in conjunction with m0n0wall and/or wireless APs? (Switches as well as NICs) Thanks, Adam. |
