I want to passthrough a dedicated 10G nic port to my truenas scale setup. I typically setup the static ip address by mapping a mac address to the static ip in my dhcp server. Not sure how this will work with the passthrough nic. I know the mac address of the NIC port. However, not sure where to assign it in truenas scale. I see I can assign a static ip directly in truenas, without specifying a mac address - but not sure my dhcp server will pick this up? Any pointers on how to do this will be appreciated.
ps: I know alternatively, I can just setup a new bridge and assign that to the vm. thats what I have done now. Is there a performance hit by going this route vs passing the nic through ?
