Dual Ethernet traffic control

[DragonTamer1]

I'm running a server on an old motherboard with a xeon. It is running a couple of game servers, freenas (to be installed when more storage is available) and plex. I want to set it up so that one ethernet port does local area network transfers and the other port is for outside internet transfer. As of right when a file transfer takes place both ethernet ports are maxed out and it is creating problems for the other software on the system.

 

I have been trying to edit the properties of the network controllers so that they only talk to their respective ports. The games don't need any sort of control since they are only port forwarded on a single ethernet jack. The problem is coming from the local transfers.

 

Sorry for the painful description, I'm very new to the whole networking thing.

If you are referring to Windows SMB transfers, I think you can disable SMB multi channel to prevent this from happening.

Disable SMB Multichannel

Typically, you do not have to disable SMB Multichannel. However, if you want to disable SMB Multichannel, for example, in a test environment, you can use the following SMB cmdlets in Windows PowerShell:

To disable SMB Multichannel on the server side, type the following in Windows PowerShell:

Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $false

To disable SMB Multichannel on the client side, type the following in Windows PowerShell:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $false
