January 31Jan 31 I don't know much at all about networking so I'm sure my thoughts wont make any sense to you experts lol. In the past (several years ago), I kept ipv6 turned off on my router and Unraid because I read that Unraid can have issues with it and I just wanted to make sure everything had good compatibility so I kept the router and Unraid on 1pv4 just in case 6 might cause a issue. Researching it a little more today, it looks like if I enable ipv6 on the router it will start using both 4 and 6 so I suppose I can do that and keep Unraid on ipv4. However, if I change the router can I change Unraid to either both or ipv6 without any issues? My motherboard has dual Lan's that I have link aggregated and bonded together in Unraid and the ports in the router aggregated. In Network Settings ---> Routing Tables (seen below) I have everything showing only IPv4. Honestly I'm not even sure if all of this is set up correctly, I dont know what all 4 of those lines are for or if they are correct or all necessary. I did it years ago and I was just trying to figure my way though it, but it seems to work good and is stable. I should probably just leave everything alone since its working, but I think ipv6 works better with gaming and I have 3 people in my house who are gaming, often at the same time. I guess I could turn ipv6 on at the router but leave Unraid on 4, however, if you guys think it would be a benefit for me to change to 6 in Unraid then I'd like to do so. I just need a little guidance to make sure I don't mess it all up.Thanks for any info you can provide! Much appreciated
January 31Jan 31 Author To add info, through some googling I found out that while in Unraid for link aggregation its set to Balanced - RR (0) which is round robin, my router settings have mode "Static LAG" and hash algorithm "SRC MAC+DST MAC" and Google says the router needs balanced xor (as opposed to round robin), which Google say is "mode 2" in Unraid....where the Balanced RR I have it on now is mode 4. So given that, who knows if I even have link aggregation working properly. All that said, its all grayed out and wont let me see options to change anything. I turned off VM but apparently i also have to turn off Docker Service before I can edit these settings. Before turning off Docker Service, I'd prefer someone to give me some advice about all this so I don't just go in messing with stuff and screw it all up by not knowing what I'm doing. I know JUST enough to screw it all up hahaha. Edited January 31Jan 31 by SPOautos
