xtrips Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Hello, Is there a tool/app/setting that will help my server recover from losing its ip address after a power surge? Each time there is a power surge the server remains working thanks to the UPS but when the LAN comes back alive it does not get its LAN address back. A fixed Ip is set on the server and also on the router using the MAC address. Nevertheless only disconnecting the Ethernet plug and reconnecting it and then resetting my router helps it recover the ip address. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 What are you calling a power surge? If if it is a momentary power outage, I would be considering plugging the router into a battery protected socket on the UPS. It is also possible that the switch (if you have one) between the router and and server might also need UPS protection. Quote Link to comment
xtrips Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 I meant power outage, yes. The router is not in the vicinity of the UPS. I have many devices connected to the LAN and WiFi and they all recover from power outages with a connection to the internet. Unraid is the only thing that needs intervention. Quote Link to comment
