+Setting up networking in proxmox.
+
+# Hardware
+
+Current configuration:
+- Single port Mellanox MT27500 Family ConnectX-3
+- Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN switch
+- DAC (Direct-attach-cable)
+
+Useful marketplace for all network related check out fs.com.

+The cheapest and easiest 10 gbps cards to get at the time are Mellanox ConnectX v3-5 cards. I use single port ConnectX-3 MT27500 Family cards.
+
+General setup: 2 x 1gbps ethernet and 1 x 10 gpbs sfp+
+Network card:
+```bash
+~ lshw -c network
+ *-network

+With the two redundant ethernet connection create a failover bond.

+ - ethernet 1: eno1
