May 21, 20197 yr Hi, I bought a IBM/ Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad Port NIC Ethernet PCI-E Adapter 39Y6138 on ebay. I want to setuo Pfsense but this csrd is not detected. I was reading and this should be compatible. I'm using a lenovo M83 as hardware for my build. Is there anything I need to do here to make this work?

May 21, 20197 yr Author I think is the card pci express. It works on windows, but it doesn't work for any Linux distro.Can someone give me a good recommendation that's not super expensive. Maybe i should move this post to the lounge Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
May 22, 20197 yr Community Expert NIC isn't being detected, if it was it should work, these NICs have issues being detected on some PCIe 2.0+ slots.

I just bough this one that is using pcie 2.0https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273857412402INTEL 1350-T4 V2 this one is dated from 2014.

May 25, 20197 yr Author Hi Everyone, I finally got a card. This one is not fake and it gets detected when I use the command lspci I see the card is picking my onboard nic and it's also picking up my new Quad Intel I350 gigabit network connection (rev 01) But I'm not getting IP. I've been using IP reservation for my server FYI. Something I'm doing wrong?
May 25, 20197 yr Author I'm way confused right now. I have access now, I got IP. But I had to manually connect a screen to the server, login and then run this file that I guess it has to do with dhcp /etc/dhcpcd.conf tower-diagnostics-20190525-1601.zip
May 25, 20197 yr Author I think it has to do with this. But I'm still don't get it. My card is now showing as eth1
May 25, 20197 yr Community Expert The Unraid GUI works on eth0 so you network configuration has to be altered so that the port you want to use is treated as eth0.

My end goal is to have more ports and assign custom nics to dockers and VMs. Which, I think can be achieved if I enable bridge.

May 25, 20197 yr Author Just now, bonienl said: To turn off this message, go to the Network settings and click on "Port Down" for eth1. Cool. Just did it worked. Question. I don't know if it's possible, how can I use the extra ports that I have now with the docker containers and VMs? I guess is using bridge, but don't know how to set it up. I see you can do a single bridge with all the ports, or create each port as it's own bridge. If there's a FAQ somewhere send me there.
May 25, 20197 yr The most common way is to assign the bridge function to a specific interface. This allows the bridge (br1) to become available to VMs, which results in VMs using their own dedicated connection separate from the Unraid management connection.
May 25, 20197 yr Author Something like ? br0 -> eth0 br1 -> eth1 br2 -> eth2 br3 -> eth3 br4 -> eth4 Also, I really don't plan in using bonding, because honestly, it's my house, and when the internet goes down, it goes down. For what else I can use bonding here, other than increasing throughput maybe (My network is 1GB so it won't get faster than that) Edited May 25, 20197 yr by gacpac
May 25, 20197 yr Bonding is a good solution for two main reasons Higher availability. When a link fails, your server stays reachable for local and remote clients Higher throughput. This is beneficial when several local clients access your server at the same time
May 25, 20197 yr Author Bonding is a good solution for two main reasons Higher availability. When a link fails, your server stays reachable for local and remote clients Higher throughput. This is beneficial when several local clients access your server at the same time Thanks for the explanation. I think I'll keep it disable for now. I have only one ISP provider, so high availability won't help me much there. And for performance done right I gotta buy a switch that supports link aggregation. And it's only me connecting to the server so.This should be enough to get me started with pfsense.I noticed Spaceinvader recommends using the nic via pcie pass-through. But I want to use the extra ports for different VMs I don't see why not. Is this possible? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
