Good morning everyone,

I'm trying to switch over my primary interface in UnRAID to the 2.5G NIC currently associated to eth1.

From my searching, I should be able to swap what's assigned where via Interface Rules, but that tab doesn't exist for me. (7.2.3)

I've tried manually creating network-rules.cfg in /boot/config but the file is removed on reboot. I've tried manually creating the file on USB, but again, it's deleted on boot.

For the time being, I went into /boot/config/network.cfg and simply modified the following:

- IFNAME[0]="eth0"

+ IFNAME[0]="eth1"

Seems to have done the trick, but I feel like it's a band aid, not a fix

Any help apricated.

Thanks

Network-rules.cfg should get automatically created on the flash drive when there are multiple NICs. Try deleting /config/network.cfg and rebooting.

Tried that, same result. Network.cfg is created but the rules file is not

If the rules file is not created, it won't work, suggest trying with a different NIC if possible, or maybe just a different PCI slot for the current NIC, in case it's a race condition.

No other available PCI slots on the PC I'm using (SFF chassis).

What would the race condition be? The interface is detected after the network configuration loads?

Something like that, or just a timing issue when the script runs.

any way to manually run the script to see if it works post-boot?

Not that I know of.
