Is there anyway to have certain apps use a specific network interface? I have system with a couple of 10G Nics, 1 I use for filesharing, management and standard access, the other I would like to use with specific apps. This doesn’t seem to be an option when configuring the apps, on some all I can …

That’s not possible as there’s no address to copy/delete, the main NIC is DHCP, there is no fields at all. The network setup in the GUI is quite lack luster to be honest. I don’t like using DHCP I prefer to manually assign everything but that doesn’t seem possible in TrueNAS, there needs to be an …

What if you disable DHCP on the NIC and enable it on the Bridge? Only Test Changes and Save Changes after changing BOTH. I have my main NIC for GUI and SMB Shares with a fixed IP. Then I have a bridge with DHCP enabled with a second NIC as member, the second NIC has no DHCP enabled (actually has n…

Thanks for the help guys. I’m sure this will will work, but still doesn’t explain what I’m seeing in the video linked here, I will continue to try things, but personally, I don’t really want to use DHCP at all, I would prefer to manually assign everything, this is not a Laptop, tablet or Phone, tha…

Yes, I have just now disabled DHCP, added a bridge assigned an alias to the bridge of 192.168.0.21, tested saved and this seems to be functioning now as expected, I see that the other settings I would normally find under a network device are under “Global Settings” I will have a good read through t…

First thing I see in the documentation that does not match my experience: " You can changes this to a static, or fixed IP address using the Console Setup menu before accessing the web UI" This is not what I’m experience, you can disable DHCP from option 1, but there is no way to provide a fixed IP…

[image] NexGen3D: Configure network interface - > Can enable disable DHCP create interfaces, like bridge, vlan but you cant assign IP’s here Select the interface to edit it, set ipv4_dhcp to No then enter the static ip in aliases

Having a system with two interfaces on the same network like that, 192.168.0.20 and .21, will result in issues, essentially undefined behaviour.

[image] DjP-iX: aliases Ahh got it, I see it now, domestic blindness syndrome… I have now got static IP working on my main nic, added 2 alias: 192.168.0.21/24 192.168.0.142/24 Tested, both now appear in my switch, I have now locked down those IP’s in my switch, so thats solid now. Not to…

I have tried the following eno2np1: Alias One: 192.168.0.21/24 Alias Two: 192.168.0.142/24 and eno2np1: Nothing br0: Bridge to eno2np1 Alias One: 192.168.0.21/24 Alias Two: 192.168.0.142/24 Both work, both setups I can access the GUI via either IP address, but in my switch, 192.168.0.142 …
