Heya, I have a (virtualised) TrueNAS Core running, which is currently connected via a "ordinary" LAN. I intended to add Management VLAN Capability, but the outcome is.... not as expected.
First of all I add a second NIC and connected it.
Adding a VLAN to a port and setting up a static IP for the VLAN works. I can then ping the VLAN, access it via trunk ports and so on - as expected.
Same goes when I just add a fixed IP to the NIC within the VLAN range and let the switch care for the tagging - equally good, equally working as expected.
What is not working is the following: As soon as I deactivate the connection to the ordinary LAN I lose network on both connections, not only on primary / LAN. How can I solve this issue? Having a Management VLAN does not seem to be a big issue, but for TrueNAS it seems kinda unsolved? At least I did not find any documentation or help, hence my topic here - the main issue is for sure the person writing this text... Any help would be highly appreciated!
