Morning all,

 

In trying to figure out why my VM's wont pull an IP i was messing around with the network config.

 

I added eth1 as a "bridging member" and unraid never came back. Now i should have known better but it seems eth1 is physically unplugged at the remote location,

 

I am able to get in via my idrac and thought i had disabled eth1 form the bridging members and rebooted but it still wont come back to a pingable responsive state....

 

Linked is my bridge configuration

Thanks again!

There is no IP address assigned to br0.

 

What is the content of your network.cfg file?

cat /boot/config/network.cfg

Sorry for the screenshots aproach, remote pc and idrac = bad combo

Try to restart the network:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

and afterwards check interface br0

ifconfig br0

Something is preventing DHCP to make assignments.

 

I would do the following (sledgehammer approach)

 

- rm /boot/config/network.cfg

- reboot

 

This deletes the network configuration and let the server start with default settings.

 

Note: Normally there is no need to have two interfaces in the bridge unless you want to use the second interface as passthru to another system.

I used the suggested hammer and its working again!!!!!

 

Thanks so much!!!
