Dual ethernet connection (Different Subnet)

[WallaceTech]

Guys.

 

Did not want to jump the other post going on Dual ethernet connection as that seems to be about bonding which is not what i need.

 

I am sure i have asked this but cant find the post if i did.

 

Anyway,

 

I have 1 Nic in my unRaid connected direct in to my switch. What i would like to do is add another two Nics to unRaid and for the two Nics to be on the same subnet. For example

 

Nic 1 - 192.168.101.0/24

 

Nic 2 - 192.168.1.0/24

 

Nic 3 - 192.168.1.0/24

 

Nic 2 & 3 would then go to different VMHosts and would be used to talk back to unRaid for NFS traffic only. I am running Beta 13. How could i configure unRaid to see these two extra Nics?

 

Thanks in advance

I have this done on my machine and its easy to do.

Step 1:

In your config set your primary IP address with a gateway. (This is where your machine will do any internet access related things.)

 

Step 2:

In your go script (/boot/config/go) add a line for each new nic

ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.X netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.X netmask 255.255.255.0 up

 

eth0 has already been setup in step 1 so no need to worry about it.

 

Reboot your array or run the commands manually to bring them up.
