Unraid newbie, just installed unraid and made my first USB.

When I boot through the main OS I'm getting 'not set' for the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

I followed prior topics I found and set bonding in the network.cfg file to 'no'.

Rebooted, and still not IP address.

I have a server based on an ASRock b450 steel legend, using a 10G add-on card for networking.

Card: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IR7T7PG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

I have the Intel X540-t2 at the link above.

Cable is known working (Cat6), the NVMe I have installed ran Windows 10 on it, cable was connected to the same network card, both worked under Windows.

I also ran diagnostics, I'll attach the file.

Added details about cable.

Not seeing that card in lspci, only the realtek on the mobo

Thank you, switching to the mobo LAN worked; I now have an IP.

How do I get unraid to recognize the 10G nic?

It is not even being seen at the hardware level so there is nothing Unraid can do.   You might want to try plugging it into a different slot on the motherboard.

It was definitely the NIC. I connected to the mobo, restarted, and I now have an IP. After SMART tests I'll shutdown and figure out what is going on with the NIC.

 

For anyone else with the ASRock b450 steel legend mobo, the second PCIe x16 slot is disabled when running a NVMe drive in the second m.2 slot. I'll be switching the second NVMe cache drive over to a PCIe x1 card to prevent this issue.

adding additional details to the fix.

OK, I'm messing with this again and I still cannot get an IP address using the 10G card. 
I followed the diagram on the mobo, nothing is in the 2nd m/2 slot.

This should be freeing up the 2nd PCIe x16 slot, which is where the 10G card is plugged in.

For some reason it still will not get an IP though, anyone run into this, or know a solution?

Here's the latest diagnostics, Ispci.txt shows:

01:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller 10-Gigabit X540-AT2 [8086:1528] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Beijing Sinead Technology Co., Ltd. Device [1dcf:031b]
    Kernel driver in use: ixgbe
    Kernel modules: ixgbe

but I'm still getting now IPv4 address.

added diagnostic zip

OK, I deleted the 'network.cfg' and 'network-rules.cfg' files from the configs folder and that appears to have done the trick.
