Hi how do i assign the "plugin system" a static ip adress?
It's very annoying right now when it changes ...

Help would be great :)

I'm not sure you can. I already opened a ticket because the MAC address changed every time the FreeNAS server is rebooted. This is likely true anytime the jail is stopped and started. If the MAC was consistent at least you could assign a static IP from your DHCP server.

https://support.freenas.org/ticket/1706

Currently the milestone is set for 9.1.0, which means we're 2+ versions away(My guess is xmas 2012 at the earliest but probably 2013) from being implemented by the FreeNAS developers unless someone in the community knows how to fix it and provides that information on the ticket.

If this is a big deal for you the only advice I can give is to comment on the ticket that this is a big deal and hope it is given a higher prority.

Cant it be done by editing the interfaces?
I have three of them: em0 (The default), bridge0 and epair0a.

I'm not sure. I hadn't tried that. When I get home I'll definitely have to check.

Hi my router has the following ip: 192.168.0.1.
Shall i conf em0:
NIC: em0
Interface Name: em0
DHCP: unchecked
IPv4 Adress: 192.168.0.199
Ipv4 NetMask: 255.255.255.0 (24)
Auto configure IPv6.

And epair0a:
NIC: epair0a
Interface Name: epair0a
DHCP: unchecked
IPv4 Adress: 192.168.0.198
Ipv4 NetMask: 255.255.255.0 (24)
Auto configure IPv6.

Or how shall i do in order to get static ip to both?
