I have an odd issue.

I had 1 onboard NIC.
everything was good.

 

added 2 port SFP card, everything was goood, they added as Eth1 & 2

I tried to add a 10gb NIC rj45 addon card, it took over as Eth0 and pushed the onboard to E th1 and the SFPs to Eth2 & 3
caused to many issues so removed the add-in card.

 

Upon reboot could not access GUI over lan, booted into GUI mode
My system still shows Eth0 thru Eth3, 4 assignments, 3 ports?

To get things working I had to bond Eth0 and eth1

some parts of unraid see 3 interfaces, some see 4

You have overreacted a bit 😁

At the time when the new single NIC "took over" eth0, you should have just gone to the network settings, scroll down (or use the "rules" tab) to network rules and rearrange the cards manually like you want them to be named.

But I am afraid, you have a different, hardware based problem. Maybe there are not enough free PCIe lanes, or some of them are multiplexed and you have to read the manual of your motherboard for hints like "if you plug in a card into slot 3 the onboard lan (sata, you name it) is disabled". Many current boards have more devices onboard that can be handled at the same time. And some CPUs have even fewer lanes than others. Read carefully!

Its a threadripper 1950x on a Zenith Extreme mobo.  

 

This processor includes 60 PCIe lanes with PHY of 16 lanes may each have a maximum of 8 PCIe ports

The ASUS ROG Xenith Extreme is an excellent AMD X399 workstation motherboard with a massive 64x PCIe 3.0 lanes ready for GPUs, storage, and networking needs.

I doubt I am out of PCI-E lanes

 

How do you know I have a hardware problem?  Is there something in the logs? DIAGS file 0 downloads, 11 hours after your post. No you did not read my logs.

telling me there is a "problem" does not help me learn anything.  show your work

 

the disabled/port down sfp ports are disabled due to no cable being plugged into them.

but the add-in card has been removed, so I require less lanes now than before.
I would like to know how I fix the problem I have now?  Not the problem I had before...

 

Interface rules has no Eth0


this is the question I need answered.

Try deleting/renaming /boot/config/network.cfg and network-rules.cfg and then reboot, note that LAN settings will go back to default DHCP.

" LAN settings will go back to default DHCP "
would this include Docker IPs?
 

No, just Settings - Network
