Hi all, 

I recently installed an additonal 2 PORT PCIe NIC card into my unraid server. It detected it fine, however it automatically puts all ports in Bonding ( see attached Unraid1 ). I cannot however change this config, If i remove bonding the server becomes unreachable. I have to restore network config from backup to get back in.

 

I don't wan't bonding, i want NIC 1 dedicated to the box ( bridging ). I want to use other NICs for my other VM appliances.

 

So far everything I tried has failed.. Can somebody help me in this.

 

Thanks,

By NIC1 do you mean eth1?

Have you tried simply removing all entries except eth0 from the bonding list?   Unraid runs the webGUI on eth0.

If you don't want any bonding, (3rd option down) Enable Bonding = No

Array, VM + Docker services will need to be disabled if I remember right.

 

If you want to pass it through to a VM, you will need to go over to Tools > System Devices and bind to VFIO (find your VM dedicated NIC and check the ticks next to it, press bind selected button)

Yes, I tried that and it seemed logical, but that breaks it.

I disabled Bonding - changed option to No. After that I loose connection.

This solved itself after the upgrade.. I can see it now and no longer listed in the network part
