Power outage and need assist w/ connecting to web interface

Hello, this is my first time using TrueNAS and we had a power outage over the weekend and now the NAS is on and I see the console - however I cannot connect to the web interface using another machine on the network.

The IP was set before but now it doesn’t appear so as I am not seeing an IP in the console view.

The error is: web interface could not be accessed. Please check network configuration.

When I select option 1 it returns with:

  1. ix0
  2. igb0
  3. igb1
  4. igb2
  5. igb3

How can I identify which network interface or driver is used? This is a linux system. Someone else set this up and they are unavailable for weeks…

Any guidance/help would be appreciated

Hello there, sorry you are experiencing this problem…

I note that you have posted here in the TrueNAS CORE category, but you are apparently using TrueNAS SCALE. I’m a Core guy with no experience on Scale, but will try to help you here, hoping also that a Scrale person will come along and rescue us both…

The real reason that I suspect you have yet received no help is that you have provided so little information about your system … See “My system specs” below for some data ideas.

It sounds to me as if your system has been unable to receive an IP from a DHCP server - this may be because your power outage affected that function (unlikely because apparently you have a functioning network?), or more likely a bad initial configuration.

I suggest that you select the Configuration Menu item 2 and check to see if you have a gateway IP specified. If you do not, then enter the IP address of your router (which is most likely, for a basic network, to be both your gateway and your DHCP server), save and reboot.

If that information was indeed missing, then I would expect the default interface to pick up an IP and allow you to boot to the GUI.

Let us know if this is any help so far…
