New here and have been playing with freenas for a month now. Basic setup, sharing and jails are all working so was now busy to separate the management (WebGUI) and data (smb shares) on the network level with different subnets, and implemented LACP for the data connection.
My Setup:
Dell R510 8 bay / 1* E5620 / 64Gb / Perc H200 IT mode
4 nics (bce0-3)
FreeNAS-11.3-U2.1
my current working network setup is:
bce0-2 aggregated in a LACP connection: lagg2
dhcp enabled
connected to the data network, getting a correct IP from the dhcp server, assume 192.168.1.50
bce3
static ip in the MGMT vlan (vlan set on the switchport), asume 192.168.100.20
bridge0
no ip assigned
bridge members: lagg2 and vnet0.1 (for the jail)
(jail is pulling an ip via dhcp from the data subnet fine like this)
other:
WebGUI IPv4 Adress set to 192.168.100.20 (from dropdown list)
SSH bind interface set to bce3 (from dropdown list)
Issue i have:
1. Unable to select the lagg IP for SMB
In Services - SMB - Configuration I am not able to choose the IP of the LAGG for Bind IP Addresses, only option I have is the IP address 192.168.100.20 (of bce3) which is the adress on the management subnet and not the data subnet.
If I leave Bind IP Addresses blanc smb is also working on the lagg2 IP (192.168.1.50). => I am however not able to bind it to only this IP.
2. network stays down when no ip set on lagg
I tried to solve issue 1 by adding a vlan1 on the lagg2, and also tried setting an IP adress to bridge0.
however, as soon as I remove the dhcp option in the GUI from lagg2 and confirm this setting, all network stays unreachable, even bce3 with the static assigned IP will not come up. It does not matter if I have only the bce interfaces and the lagg created, or the bridge(s) and/or vlan as well. (Thank you devs for the automatic rollback of network changes if not confirmed after committing :) )
As soon as dhcp is removed from the lagg, the network does not come up anymore => I am not able to remove the IP from the lagg so I can add another interface on top of it (bridge or vlan) so I can assign that interface an IP address in the data subnet (and bind that IP to the smb service)
Question:
Is my approach to separating the data and mgmt subnets the right approach, did I miss something or are there other ways to accomplish this?
Thanks for any reply. Always eager to learn :)
