I have probelm setting 2 NICs using WebUI, so I have to edit /config/network.cfg using NotePad++.

Now, my network.cfg is:

#Static IP
USE_DHCP=no
IPADDR=192.168.2.38
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.2.2
DNS_SERVER1=192.168.2.2
DNS_SERVER2=
DNS_SERVER3=

 

It works fine for onboard GBe NIC. Now I am adding a 2.5GBe NIC and I want to set another static IP for 2.5GBe NIC. What modifications are needed?

Why?

It's for my my specific network configuration needs. I can explain the details, but it may be tedious. So, please forgive me not explaining why. In essential, the 2 NICs are connecting to different subnets, so they needs different IP address.

For the time being, I need to set 2 distinct static IP address for 2 NICs on one PC by editing network.cfg, not WebUI.

I have made it.

This is my network.cfg:

# Generated settings:
IFNAME[0]="eth0"
DHCP_KEEPRESOLV="yes"
DNS_SERVER1="192.168.2.2"
DHCP6_KEEPRESOLV="yes"
PROTOCOL[0]="ipv4"
USE_DHCP[0]="no"
IPADDR[0]="192.168.2.70"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY[0]="192.168.2.2"
USE_DHCP6[0]="no"
IFNAME[1]="eth1"
PROTOCOL[1]="ipv4"
USE_DHCP[1]="no"
IPADDR[1]="111.111.111.112"
NETMASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY[1]="111.111.111.111"
SYSNICS="2"

 

Some of my findings while trying:

1. unRAID will generate a "network-rules.cfg" to set sequence of eth0, eth1, ... It can be altered either through WebUI or modifying the cfg file.

2. After applying change to Network Settings, connection will be lost. And a reboot is required. Shutdown unRAID first, check network.cfg is correct and then restart unRAID.
