eth0 and eth1 not showing up in Interface Rules

[WTHO]

My motherboard has two 2.5gbe nic and I have been using one of it without problem. Recently, I added a 10gbe nic (x550) with 2 ports. For what I read, if I want to use the 10gbe nic as my primary connection, I have to make it eth0 by using Interface Rules. However, eth0 and eth1 are not showing up in my Interface Rules, only eth2 and eth3 (and their mac addresses) are there.

BTW, eth3 is now connected to my switch and I can actually logging in via eth3, but docker containers will not work with the 10gbe.

 

Any idea?

Try renaming/deleting /boot/config/network.cfg and network-rules.cfg and reboot, if the same post the diagnostics.

After deleting the 2 cfg files and reboot, eth0 & 1 are still missing from Interface Rules...

 

Here is the diagnostics file. See if it helps. Thanks!

If possible install the 10GbE NICs in a different PCI slot and try deleting network-rules.cfg again, this issue is known to sometimes happen, unclear why.

Unfortunately, this is an ITX motherboard with only 1 pcie slot. Interestingly, I seem to find a work around. Since I am only using 1 nic, I put all 4 nic in bond0 as active-backup and then plugging in only the 10Gbe, then everything seems working fine, including the docker containers.

 

I am considering disabling the onboard nic, so that unraid will be forced to use the pcie nic. Will I risk losing the connection to unraid if it doesn't work?

 

Thanks again!

Possibly, but you can always type reboot in the CLI and re-enable them.
