New Around Here
I posted this in switches because my primary question regards the capability of switch vs what I would like to setup.
I've attached simple map of my setup. The only real component missing is the connection that the switch would provide from the OpenFiler box to the existing ethernet LAN via FC.
Now I am brand new to the FC area, so I'm not even sure what I want here is possible. Is my switch (or any other) capable of allowing clients on an ethernet LAN the ability to read from a share hosted on the OpenFiler box via FC? I realize that I could forgo FC and use ethernet, but the whole purpose of this was to widen the bottleneck I currently get by using ethernet from storage to LAN.
Any input is appreciated, questions ofc are welcome.
Thanks
