Comment on Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server?
sic_semper_tyrannis@feddit.ch 1 year agoI didn’t know you could have to ISPs connected to one device. I won’t be requiring that however. I was wondering if besides the one port to connect my server to the router there was anything else I was missing or is commonly used that I should be aware of to take up another port.

Well they would be going to the router and the router would be handling it, but you could still have seperate feeds from the router on lan/opt ports to the device.dont think they will both function at the same time though, system needs priorities

I've seen it done in data center environments where there are two connections to two different switches - so you can do maintenance on either switch without downtime.
Same reason for having dual power feeds to each machine.
