My openbsd box is virtualized on xenserver. I dont know which fiber nic is more compatible with xenserver. I also need one more port for transit.
If you could suggest any cost effective managed switch with multiple sfp slot. I wonder that linx need only one mac id visible to their network. I hope that my virtual openbsd router nic will be only visible to linx and physical nic mac id will not be presented to linx. Kindly share youe experience.
