Hey guys,
after having pretty much everything setup (for the 3rd time) I'm now definitely stuck.
-nic1 onboard
-nic2 I350
-nic3 I350
nic 1 got a static IP
nic 2+3 are bond and bridged; switch is properly setup [switch:static-lag - unraid:round-robin]
and this works until the server is rebooted, then the bond/I350-T2 won't come up automatically.
I know of the concept of a server but however I can't always hookup a screen to start in the GUI to 'port-up'., and it's not the time yet for a kvm-switch.
The host is temporarily in my home-office, but will move sooner or later, so I have to figure this out:
There is a second card coming, the goal would be to bond all 5 together, and connect that to a 1/5/10G switch.
So the cards are pcie_x2, fitted in a x1 slot, working perfectly:
pc:pcie3_x1 / card:pcie2_x2
breakdown:
1 ethernet-port is at max. pulling 250MB/s (125MB/s upstream - 125MB/s downstream) so one card is pulling 0,5GB/s which is the max. of pci2_x1
I'd like to achieve that the ports stay up due reboots. 10G card isn't a solution due to no available slots left.
> In the mainboard-bios I deactivated network-boot (as I've read it here somewhere)
> I saw that the Intel-I350 has a bios splash-screen /CTRL+S/ entered, couldn't uncheck the possibility to 'pxe-boot'.
So now I may got a hint, could flashing the card be a thing?
Has anybody input how I could proceed, what to try next?
This is driving me nuts. (Tagged the title appropriately so whoever comes after me has a better time finding a solution)
Thanks in advance for any input! After this I'm sold to the pro-version
PS: Will attach logs asap
Kind regards
