Problem with Realtek RTL8125B NIC (Scale 24.10.0.2)

[Module1]

Hello,

I’m trying to install and test “TrueNAS-SCALE-24.10.0.2” (not Core).
It looks like FreeBSD (Core) version have problems with Realtek NIC’s. But i’m stuck in the Scale.

After installation and first reboot completed, i get note:

“The web interface could not be accessed. Please check network configuration”.

I’ve tried to configure NIC by choosing option 1) Configure network interfaces. I see my nic as enp5s0 as well some long address in the “state.aliases” column. But it’s not working.

Also tried option 2) Configure network settings, but once i add gateway and nameserver addresses it says “Gateway unreachable”. Motherboard is brand new, tried to install proxmox and also a windows - no problems with NIC at all.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue without buying a new card? This NAS setup will be only for weekly and monthly backups. So it will not be used in heavy duty workloads.

The 8125B NIC is not the cause, my Scale system runs fine with it.

Looks like a configuration issue to me. Try resetting.

i’ve tried to reset it, but it did not helped

I’ve got some progress and want to ask is this a correct way to solve this issue or not?

Once my machine is started i choose option 7) Open Linux Shell
and run these two commands:

sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 dev enp5s0
sudo ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

Afterwards i can immediately log in to WEB GUI of TrueNAS.
Then in the GUI i went to Network and changed from DHCP to static. And looks like the problem is solved. Right now it is working fine. But the problem is that this is remote location and i will not be able to access it for 1 year. I will only have remote access to it.

My fear is will my made changes remain? Maybe there is another way to solve this strange issue where TrueNAS does not pick up IP from DHCP server.

Will it work after updates?

Maybe there is another way to solve this strange issue where TrueNAS does not pick up IP from DHCP server.

As I wrote, this looks like a configuration issue of your local network.

I would assume that you will have to do the same steps after updating.

On the same machine, i have 2nd SSD with Windows. When i boot windows, it get’s IP from DHCP server with no problems. Everything is working fine. Except if i boot in to TrueNAS. So cable, router, NIC and etc is 100% working, problem only in the TrueNAS.

Tried to made update, but it does not resolve the names. When i changed from DHCP to static, it only let me add IP and GW, but not nameservers.

[Module1]

Today i’ve re-downloaded installation, burned new USB, installed and i have the same story, NIC exists, DHCP reservation on the router exists, but it’s not working, without manually setting static IP + resolv.

Other people using the same NIC and have no problems at all. Went to BIOS, but there is actually nothing to configure, except enable/disable LAN.

By trying all possible ways i noticed error during installation, that i’ve missed previously:

Did you ever solve this issue? Running into a similar issue on a friends machine and would very much appreciate some guidance on a way to fix this issue.
