May 14, 20242 yr Hi, I'm new to UnRAID (came from Synology.. of course :)) and have built a brand new system and attempting to achieve 10Gbe LAN speeds. The new server, plus all of PC's have 10Gbe NICS. These are all connected to a 10Gbe UniFi switch. My motherboard (Gigabyte Z790 DDR4) has a 2.5Gbe NIC that I do not use. Using iperf3, I'm receiving 5Gb throughput and not the desired 10Gbe. I'm confused is to why I'm missing Interface Rules within Network Settings. Also, if I disable bonding on eth0, I then cannot connect back to the server via GUI. What am I missing here? I only want to use the 10Gbe NIC, nothing else.
May 14, 20242 yr when you loose access to gui the simplest is to reboot with gui so you can make your network settings adjustments. I would begin with a single interface to test network speed. I also have 2x10Gbe interface on my main server. For now only using one. I have a 10Gbe interface on my backup server and a chinese 10G switch. with iperf i tried from or to main server and speed is around 9,6G. For now i didn't tried with bonding as my primary intention was to dedicate 1 10G interface to backup to remote server.
May 14, 20242 yr Author Thanks for the reply. I suspect the 10Gbe NIC I'm using in the server maybe at fault? This is the one I'm using: https://a.co/d/9TzpCFk That said, I just purchased a new NIC and will test tonight: https://a.co/d/55yhtm5 *EDIT* Also just purchased this NIC as well: https://a.co/d/4TuYp53 - appears to be the same one as above but with an integrated fan. That won't be here until tomorrow and will test then. I've gone as far as deleting network.cfg, creating network-rules.cfg and still not seeing the option. Edited May 14, 20242 yr by mattjewell
May 22, 20242 yr Author Solution Alright, update here. Got everything working now. I received the 10Gbe NIC (https://a.co/d/55yhtm5), installed and was still missing interface rules. Got to thinking, may try a different PCIe slot. Welp, that did it. Removed network.cfg from flash, powered off server, moved the NIC to full PCIe x 16 slot. BOOM, interface rules showed right up and was able to set the new NIC to eth0 and no longer using the mobo NIC. I've attached a picture of the PCIe slot I used. Now getting around 9.5Gb transfer speeds from PC and Mac to server via iperf3. Hopefully this helps someone.
