my freenas machine shows 2 ip addresses

[luis ceron]

hello. after upgrading from version 9.1 to 9.2 i noticed this issue where the freenas machine shows 2 ip addresses. i do not know how this happened. i've dmesg and a couple of png files to help more on the issue. can someone please point me in the direction to fix it? i can ssh to it with no issues.

Post the output of ifconfig as an attachment or within code tags.

hi thanks. here you go...

 

[dlavigne]

That's what I thought. Sometimes this happens when a DHCP server issues a new IP before the old lease expires. You can do this from the web shell to fix:

Code:

ifconfig re0 192.168.1.244 delete
ifconfig re0 192.168.1.130
killall dhclient
dhclient re0

After running those, ifconfig should show one IP address.

i tried all of the commands and rebooted the system. it still shows up with 2 addresses. the 192.168.1.130 address belongs to my plex media server jail. can that be causing an issue somewhere? i was thinking of doing a clean reinstall. will i lose any data that is already on the drives?

ps can the router be causing this issue?

 

[dlavigne]

Interesting.... A fresh install will not affect the data on the drives. Let us know if that fixes it.

i'm stumped! i've done a clean install and the same issue with the 2 addresses. any suggestions? one thing i did notice was that the second address didn't show up until the jails were installed.

so this issue keeps getting weirder. i enabled both my plexmedia server and transmission plugin and now the freenas shows 3 addresses. i can access the freenas gui from all 3 addresses. address 1 freenas machine, address 2 plexmedia server, and address 3 transmission. so annoying... help me someone.

 

[dlavigne]

Well, each jail has its own IP address, so that part makes sense. It is weird that the jail IP addresses aren't showing on the epair device though.

so i decided to reinstall with the latest 9.2.1.2 release and the issue has gone away. i do not know what the bleep happened here but it is fixed now. from now on i will have to freshly reinstall instead of upgrading since i think that might be the issue. how to i mark this as solved?
