Dedicated network connection for HA

Hi All,

I would be most grateful for your help. I have HA running through VMware, and it all works well. It is currently connected through my internet connection, which is a 10gb SFP+ port. There is an issue where the port drops the internet connection, I think it’s a power saving thing and am currently trying to troubleshoot it. Due to a couple of apps doing auotmated uploading of large files, I want to keep the 10G port as my primary internet port. I have two additional network connections on my computer, so I wanted to know if there was any way to assign one of these ports to the HA setup only, i.e. prevent the WIndows 11 system from using this as an internet connection for the rest of the programs. I know how to assign networks through VMware, I have a feeling this is likely to be more of a WIndows question, but as it relates to HA I thought I would ask here. The connection is going into a Ubiquiti UDMP, so there is the possibility of using VLANs if necessary, though I do have things set up for the primary/default network on HA, so would prefer to leave the IP alone if possible.

Thank you for your help, look forward to your replies!!!
