March 8, 20233 yr I have been tinkering with unRAID for a little bit now. I had a setup that was a test box, but decided to rebuild fresh with 6.11.5 and do some things with networking. unRAID is installed on a Dell PE R510 with 12 drives + 2 internal SSDs. It has 2 onboard 1GB NICs and a dual SFP+ 10GB fiber card installed. I also have a Dell Perc 810 to eventually add a Dell MD1020 to the mix. This sits behind a pfSense FW acting as my router and on a Unifi managed network. The default network is only used for provisioning. I have a management network which is VLAN10. I would like to have the unRAID eth0 on this management network and all it will be for is to access/management the system via the GUI. Eth1 is then a DMZ. The fiber card is where most of the network stuff should happen. This will be managed by VLANs for main network and any other network needed by VMs etc. Anyway, my start off questions. Does eth0 have to be on the default network first of all? I have eth0 plugged into the switch and the port is set to VLAN10. It gets an IP from DHCP and I can access the GUI. I don't need bridging on that interface as it will be management only, so I turn that off. I configure eth1 with a static IP for the DMZ and I configure eth2 (10GB port) with a static IP on it's network. That's basically when things start failing as I loose access to the GUI. Can't ping the unRAID from a machine on the network etc. The firewall logs show the ping and http request being passed, but nothing works any more. I can though ping the unRAID server from the firewall. The unRAID server can ping the firewall, but it can't ping the internet. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I just can't seem to find it. Something with routing on the unRAID server??? Should all interfaces defined on the unRAID server have default gateways defined or should some be blank? Sorry, just at a loss here as to why this isn't working.
March 10, 20233 yr Author Okay, let me ask a different question. Is there a good unRAID network setup guide for Multiple NICs?
February 27, 20242 yr bumpity bumpy bump for similar questions i have been asking myself anyone shed any light on multi NIC VLAN setups?
