Unraid can't automatically reconnect to network after automatic router restart

[T-Birth]

Hi,

i recently noticed after setting up an automatic restart of my router on Sunday, that my Unraid Server is not reachable after the router reboots.

 

Is there a way to let Unraid automatically reconnect ? Maybe there is a small userscript out there that pings a target (website) and if the website is not reachable for several times/trys it forces the network card to reconnect ?

Maybe it has something to do with the dhcp lease.. anyway...

 

I would be really happy if someone could help.

Thanks Guy's

It should reconnect on its own, possibly depends on the router, you can always use a static IP address.

It should work, but obviously, it does not for you.

 

You did not supply any diagnostics and you did not tell us, what you need to do, to get the unraid net back up running again.

 

So, there is not much room for an educated guess.

 

A wild guess comes to my mind, but really its only a very very wild guess:

If the router hosts the DHCP Server and you have a setting there that only machines that were validated and assigned by this server, it may happen that after a reboot he has lost memory of your UNRAID box and unless the network of unraid is dropped and reconnected, all packets from unraid are dropped and thrown away.

Solved this quick and dirty but for me totally fine.

 

Created a User Script that reboots Unraid on Custom schedule every Sunday after my Network Stuff automatically restarts.

 

#!/bin/bash
shutdown -r now >/dev/null 2>&1
