Switching addresses on 2 cards

[philhu]

I want to switch my 10g card to be my 192 address, and the old igb0 to be a different address

If I switch the igb0 to something, it will lose my GUI as it restarts the network.

Is there a cli way to do it and set it permenantly.

I'd like to change intf a to addr b
and intf b to address a

Then reboot.

I know the centos way to do it, and looked up freebsd, but they use rc.conf/ifconfig to do this, FreeNAS does it differently

Tried to do this using console, but the reboot put old addresses back

Is there a way to switch the 2 and reboot?

Also my jails also point to the old intf. How do i make the jail point to the 2 nd intf like the system??

Use the GUI to delete the second interface, then use the console to reconfigure the first. Do not try to use "ifconfig" commands.

Ok. Intf A is the 192 gui ip addr
So if i delete intf B and i use console to readdress intf a, how do i set 192 on intf b?

So log in on that new network and use the GUI from there.

You can also do the entire network configuration via the console interface, but it is less intuitive than the GUI.

All working. 10GbE. Std 1g lines writing to freenas pegged at 109MB/s. Two writers using cifs

Cpu on Freenas box at 13% and 15%

I love this system!!!!

See, I tell everyone they'll love 10G. Do I lie?

It is a bit pricey. But it is great!

$150 for nas 10g card, $300 for a 10G dul nic module for my HP Pro Curve switch

Almost unlimited net transfer, priceless!
