Pstark Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I got a new 10 GIg NIC and I'm not sure how to configure Unraid to use the new NIC instead of the MB one. Currently, when Unraid starts with the NIC installed and connected to the network, it will say no IP assigned. I'm unable to get to the web UI via tower.local. Once I plug a second cable into the MB, I can navigate to the web UI. After that, I can unplug the the MB network cable and it works just fine. I want to use the add in card by default but I'm not sure what to change without making it unreachable. Quote Link to comment
Solution Frank1940 Posted February 4, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 4, 2022 You could try to disable the MB NIC using the settings in the BIOS. That way, your new 10Gbs NIC would become eth0. (You would probably also have to rename (/delete) the network configuration files in the /config folder so that Unraid builds new one(s) on the reboot. ) Quote Link to comment
