Mini-xl bond0 + br0 not working

I am having an issue on 25.04.1 setting up a bridge on a bond.

My system is a truenas mini-xl
The interfaces are eno0 and eno1
I have successsfully setup the bond0

everytime i try to setup the bridge, I lose acces to the UI

Any thoughts? Happy to share more info

Could you post the steps you are doing? Be as verbose as possible. It may give others a clue on what is happening in the process

Let’s start with the NAS itself

No onto the issue, I navigate to networ configuration

Goto add an interface

Populate the type, name and members

Then Save the config

After this I go into the bond0 interfance and remove the alias
And then put the alias in the bridge

After this I test the config, which returns in about a 1s or 2s
Then I save the config


Shortly after saving, I loose access to the UI.

When I goto the console,

  • I an ping devices on the network
  • reboot
  • still ping device on the network
  • still cannot reach the UI

To reset back to the bond0, on the console

  • I delete the br0
  • add an alias to the bond0
  • reboot
  • ping devices on the network
  • I can get back into the UI (although sometimes I need to reboot twice)

LMK if anything else may be needed

I was hoping someone else would have replied that was familiar with setting this up. Thanks for all the info, etc. Do you have a monitor or console set up or SSH session so you can track where TrueNAS thinks the GUI should be?

I have ithooked up to my KVM, have not turned on ssh access yet

I am hitting the port the console display is telling me “where” the UI is supposed to be (which is port 80)
