I just got bumped up to 2G/2G for my home Fiber circuit (currently 1G/1G).
My current config has the WAN port (installed at setup) sitting on one of the ports on a Intel I350-T4 card.
I'll be adding a X550-T2 Nic soon as it arrives from CDW. The new ONT has a 10G RJ45 port and handles 10G, 5G, 2.5G and 1G. For my new circuit it will be 2G/2G over a 10G port.
What is best practice to config the new 10G card as the primary WAN port. Is it ok to assign WAN to a new NIC? Should I remove (reassign) the current WAN port from the 1G NIC first?
Thanks for any suggestions. Needless to say, fully backed up and not the end of the world if I have to start fresh with the new 10G NI
