Can anyone point me to how to set up my unraid to use DHCP.  I cannot access the GUI as I have a new router using DHCP already.  Im trying to do it through cmd line on the unraid server itself....

Boot > Config > Network.cfg

 

is a txt file - make sure to keep it in unix format

Since you can't access the GUI, replace the /config/network.cfg file on your flash with this:

 

# Generated network settings
USE_DHCP="yes"
IPADDR=
NETMASK=
GATEWAY=

 

Then reboot.

Thanks!

 

I was just looking at but wanted to make sure.

For reference, all generated cfg files in unRaid can be edited with any text editor.  Does not need to be one that can handle Linux style line endings.  IE: You can use notepad on Windows

Wasn't meaning anything by it.  Just that its a common misconception.

.... how dare you always be right Squid. I learned something as well.

For unRAID v6.2 the default values are extended:

# Generated network settings
USE_DHCP="yes"
IPADDR=
NETMASK=
GATEWAY=
BONDING="yes"
BRIDGING="yes"

This allows any ethernet port to be connected upon first usage (provided the driver loads).

 

In case of doubt one can always completely remove the network.cfg file, and system starts with said defaults as well.
