Hi all,

I just migrated my networking setup to Unifi with VLANS. My Unraid server is on VLAN 10 and I can access it fine over the network. When I start my VM, I lose access to my Unraid GUI. When I stop the VM and unplug and replug in the ethernet cable, I can access the GUI again. The VM has a default network source of br0. I have been bashing my head against this forever and would love some help.

How do i get the VM configured so I can start it and access it without losing access to my Unraid GUI?

Thank you!

Set VLAN 10 for Unraid GUI, VLAN 20 for your VM, both tagged.

Set so on your switch and your router with separate networks ofc.

Check if Unraid and VM are then accessible.

Same issue. Both are showing up as devices in the Unifi console with Unraid with a 192.168.10.* address and the home assistant VM with a 192.168.20.* address.

Some additional details that may or may not be helpful, in order to get Unraid to stay on VLAN 10, I had to set a Virtual Network Override in the Unifi console for the device. Additionally, I have bridging enabled on my eth0 interface for Unraid and have the following for the IP address setup in Unraid under eth0.

Hi, @gyto6 any more ideas?

Ok, think I figured out what was wrong. It was mostly my misconfiguration in the Unifi Console. I had a fixed IP address on the device and a Virtual Network Override configured. When I removed both of these settings and instead set up a Native VLAN for the port (not sure if this is exactly required though) using the desired VLAN, everything seems to be working now.
