Hello,

 

Hope everyone is keeping well.

 

I am a new Unraid user having just set up my server only a few days ago. Got my Plex migrated, up and running today. I have 2 NIC on my server; one is the built-in NIC on the motherboard and the other is from a PCIe card.

 

I have two subnets at home; LAN1 (main) and LAN2. The firewall rules are simple -- LAN1 can access anything in LAN2 but the reverse is blocked except for established and related. LAN1 is plugged in the built-in NIC and LAN2 in the other one.

 

In SETTINGS / Network Settings / eth0 (LAN1) and eth1 (LAN2) have different subnets and respective gateways. I have also unbonded them.

I have given Plex a Fixed IP (Custom : eth1) and it's working fine.

 

The bit that bothers me is when I go to eth1's IP in the browser, it takes me to unraid login page and that...wasn't my intention. I want to be able to reach Unraid only through eth0's address.

 

LAN2 is plugged in solely for Plex. Before Unraid, I used to have a physical box sitting in LAN2 serving Plex and that's what I'm trying to recreate, if that makes sense.

 

What am I doing wrong? Or is this a scenario for which I should have a VM?

This is now resolved. I played around and found a way.

 

I ensured eth1 is up but it doesn't have any IP of its own so that Unraid WebUI isn't available at this subnet. Also, enabled bridging -- eth1 is the only member of br1.

SETTINGS / Network Settings / eth1 / IPv4 address assignment: None

 

Then, I configured br1's address range in Docker and defined a DHCP pool separate from that in the router (to avoid the same IP being assigned).

SETTINGS / Docker / IPv4 custom network on interface br1:

 

Restarted the services and all working as they should now.
