So, I have a server with 4*2.5Gb ports, one of them is used for the main networking, including a samba drive. I also have a desktop with a 2.5Gb card. But I have an 1Gb switch.
I want to make the desktop port to be able to access the internet (forward the port traffic to the main port), but whatever traffic is server related, dont traffic and reply within the server.
I tried bridging, but whatever request went from the desktop, went through the switch and served by the main server's port through the 1Gb switch.
Something like this:
Desktop ----> Server port B --(bridged)--> Server Port A ----> Switch -> Server Port A --(bridged)--> Server Port B ----> Desktop
I tried both linux and ovs bridge but I probably need rules or something.
