We recently purchased three small servers and need advice on the network setup. What would be recommended with regard to distributing the network services amongst the adapter/ports? Both adapters are npar capable.

3x Dell 6515 with:
1x AMD 7542
128 GB memory
2x 1Gb nic
2x 25GbE sfp28 (Broadcom 57414)
2x 10/25GbE sfp28 (QLogic FastLinQ 41262)
2x 480GB ssd sata for host OS
4x 1.6TB nvme, u.2 for Ceph OSDs

We have a 10Gb switch and planned to use a mesh network for Ceph (cluster) network.

Thanks in advance.
