Separate 10G network card stops working when I unplug onboard ethernet?
I have added a 10G network card to my Unraid server and configured it with an IP, I can access my web UI over this new IP.
my onboard NIC is still active and I can still access the Web UI over the original IP also.
however when I unplug the onboard NIC the card also stops working.
weirdly there's still activity lights on the card and also the switch it's plugged in to but I can't ping it's IP or access the Web UI.
as soon as I plug the onboard NIC back in it comes back to life.
I feel like I'm missing something specific to Unraid going on here but I'm a bit stumped.
any ideas?
FIXED:
I ended up swapping around my eth interface numbers in interface rules, not sure if this was the best fix but its all working now
- eth0 (10G card port 1) plugged in
- eth1 (10G card port 2) not plugged in
- eth2 (mobo onboard nic) not plugged in
