Network card failled

Hell all

I am running truenas core on a supermicro x10 MB

on onboard NIC is broken and the connection to it is not stable,

I bought an IBM 4 port NIC and installed it on the mb.

when I boot this server (with its original network connection ) i can log into my server

If i move the connection to the new card i have no access to truenas

I move the connection to the origial port and connect to truenas, i the go to systems, netwok, i see the original network and it has an ip address

I also see the new card listed with the 4 ports

I tried to configure one of the ports and i try to configure it as dhcp i get network changes accepted (i do not see and ip address for that port).

If i try to configure another port as dhcp truenas tells me only ondhcp port is allowed

If i try to assing an ip address it returns and error Validation errors: aliases: The network 192.168.1.0/24 is already in use by another interface.

192.168.1.0/24 is not any of my ip address.

Therefore i deduce that the NIC needs some kind of configuration. As truenas is installed as bare metal i do not have a clue on how to accomplish this.

Can i please ask somone to shead light on this?

Thank you

Correct. The console should tell you what the IP is on the added interface; if not, your router should be able to do this.

No, it isn’t; it is (as the message tells you) a network address. You may only have one interface on a given network.

It’d frankly be easiest to do this from the console (either IPMI, or keyboard and monitor connected to that server). Delete the configuration for the onboard interface, and configure the desired port on the new NIC. It can be done using the web interface, but it’s just more dicey to do so.

yeah dan has the important bit. core only allows one interface on a given subnet, so the ibm card will keep failing while the onboard still owns 192.168.1.0/24.

path that usually works for me: console or ipmi, remove ipv4 from the old onboard (or take it down), then set one ibm port to dhcp or a static on that same network and make it the default route. once that sticks you can unplug the broken onboard. if you need both cards up, put the second one on a different subnet / vlan, not a second address in the same /24.
