Jaster Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 It seems my server generates a new MAC for the building NIC whenever I reboot. This makes it basicly impossible to assign a static address to it. Why is this happening and can I prevent this? Quote
Frank1940 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 How many NIC's does the MB/card have? Also see this thread: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/94606-more-than-50-of-the-time-my-server-boots-up-without-network-how-do-i-debug-this Quote
Jaster Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 The board has two mics, but I get an new Mac every time I reboot It's an Asus x299 mark1. Quote

But this is first time I see a mainboard (Asus x299 mark1) which menu state will inter connect both NIC in design. Quote
Jaster Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 It's not a 50/50 thing for me, both nics do get a new Mac. Not a random random of two, but just a new Mac on every reboot. Also, I don't run them aggregated (yet). I would expect a stable Mac and I'm certain it used to be stable. Quote
Vr2Io Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Could you try if disable one of NIC in BIOS with stop random MAC behaviour. Edited July 15, 2020 by Benson Quote
