I have 11.1 that was upgraded to 11.2 to 11.3 mainly cause our Roku updated and plex would no longer fuction. Had a bear of a time with plexserver plugin and the jails during the process. Long story short removed or thought I removed everything related to plex (not the media however) and reloaded the plugin on 11.3. After having issues with this complaining about mountpoints and other issues with it not wanting to load I finally got plex back up and going. However now I have two different IP addresses with two different instances of plex on each and I can only find one running in Freenas GUI.

Is there any command that I can run that will tell me what IP's are tied to what services, etc. to try and hunt where this is coming from?

I have a dual port nic that is bonded primarily for the SMB services and one interface that is onboard to the motherboard for VM's, so I have a total of 2 physical interfaces. I have one VM of fedora on here to run unifi controller and a logitech media server, and that got messed up, but finally added some lines to conf.rc and got that back up and running.

So everything is good at the moment, just seems like there is some extra things running in duplicate that I would like to stop.

Thanks again for any suggestions.

Edit... I have my main plex server set to a static ip of 172.16.10.7, but when I set the jail/plugin up it would always fail when I statically tried to set an IP. It was only til I left it at DHCP that it took the config and then I edited it later to switch it back to static. This seemed to work but might be a clue as to why I have two ip's running plex (one is the static and one is a random DHCP'ed address, but they are not the same plex instance it seems the DHCP one is empty of any content)

okay, so I found the offending IP address, however I am not sure how to fix it. The Plex Jail has both IP addresses under it. How can I fix it where only the static 172.16.10.7 address is enabled?

Looks as if somehow two MAC's got added to my NIC? The mac ending in 41EB is the one that is grabbing an IP from my DHCP and I would like to just remove this if possible.
