January 7, 20215 yr My setup is the following: I have 2 NIC s in my system, a pci-e one and a MOBO integrated one. I run pfsense in a virtual machine witch acts as my router, the pci-e nic is passed through to it, it gets the WAN connection from there. I have a virtual network interface set up between the unraid host`s bridge network (br0) adapter(the onboard NIC) and the pfsense guest, I would like to use the onboard NIC for my LAN port. My problem: When I have the virtual bridge configuration like this: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:80:59:c1'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='e1000'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> Everything works fine, the unraid machine and other hosts on the network can communicate with each other and the internet, the problem is that the e1000 interface is slow, it theoretically supports 1Gbits/s, but I`m only geting about 500Mbits/s between the host and the pfsense machine (tested with iperf), and I`m planing to upgrade to 2.5G networking. If I change the adapter to use <model type='virtio'/>, the connection speed jumps up to 5Gbits/s, and other hosts can still communicate flawlessly, but my unraid host can`t. I`m able to ping 8.8.8.8 and the ip of the gateway from the terminal, but none of my docker containers have network access, and my apps tab is broken as well. I belive this is a routing issue between the virtio interface and unraid. My unraid routing table in both cases is the following (it works for e1000, doens`t work for virtio😞 Does anyone have any idea why unraid refuses to use the virtio bridge?
