Hi
I have a FreeNAS running 11.2, but it was a 9.10 upgraded to 11.1 and then to 11.2. I still have jails running from 9.10 (yeah, I know, should have prioritized having them migrated before)
My problem is, I want to create new jails to replace the old ones. But I want to do it one jail at a time. All my jails are configured with static IPv4. Currently the jails I have include:
* Plex Mediaserver
* OpenVPN Proxy server
* SSH server
* Apache/MySQL
* DNS Server (dnsmasq)
I have been able to create a new ssh jail and got networking working with bridge1 interface and static IP.
My problem is that (from what I understand), the "preferred" networking should include VNET, however I am not able to create new jail with VNET enabled and a static IP. No matter what I do, then I cannot get an interface up on the jail, thus no network connectivity.
Anyone that can help with a guidance to configuring new jails that can support the features I need with Static IP? I really dont think the guide is of much help... it quickly goes very technical without any guidance to which options should be checked.
I do have DHCP on my network, and I also tried to create a jail with dhcp enabled.. this does not come online due to timeout on dhcp requests. But since my dhcp server (router/firewall) are not able to predefined IP addresses for MAC adresses, then I do not want to use DHCP for my jails. They are required to have static IP addresses.
Hope that someone can help.
