iocage VMs and multiple bridges problems

Hi all,

Very new to networking so I might be doing something wrong here..... I'm on FreeNAS 11.1-Release

Anyway setup 2 VM's and using iocage for plex and a basic FreeBSD.

When setting up, FreeNAS creates two bridges one for iocage (includes vnets) and one for the VM's (includes tap0, tap1).

Problem is that my physical ethernet adapter can only be assigned to one bridge (which FreeNAS assigns to the VM bridge), and this means that my jails cannot access the internet.

The only solution I have found is once FreeNAS has booted, destroy the bridge containing tap0, tap1, bge1(ethernet adapter), and then assign them to bridge0 which is where my vnets are.

Question is - is this normal, or am I missing something here - appreciate any help please? Thank you!

My ifconfig output after boot :
Code:

Can you please shed some light on how you fixed this issue, i.e. what commands you used to fix your ifconfig? I'm currently experiencing this problem.

Sure - health warning though, I'm not a network admin so don't know if my changes are correct from a purist point of view - but it does work.... see below the changes I made

Code:
ifconfig bridge1 destroy
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap1
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0
ifconfig bridge0 addm bge1


I basically added all the adapters to a single bridge and destroyed the other bridge.

Just want to say thanks. Your solution helped me :)

Had created a VM and after a freenas reboot all my vnet jails had no internet access.

This is a known bug, and is scheduled to be fixed soon. https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/30276#change-224078

But now (11.2-BETA1 and 11.2-BETA2) it does breaks in a totally different way.

This is because of a few things, Plex requires a VNET interface in the jail because it needs it's own MAC address to function. FreeNAS has/had an issue where as it was booting the VNET jail would be put on it's own bridge instead of the existing one, basically breaking everything.

The easiest thing I do to workaround it is set the Plex jail to not boot automatically. Let FreeNAS boot up completely and then once it's running, manually start the VNET jail, it then gets added to the bridge appropriately. I have a ticket in for this as well, but it's currently private while they evaluate it.

It wouldn't hurt to open another ticket for the new breakage as we'd like to shake out most of the use cases before we go to RC status. If you create one at bugs.freenas.org, post the issue number here.

I did, the second ticket is #40484.

Thanks!
