TrueNAS Core Default Gateway

Software & Web Applications
1

Hello,

I set up two networks on my TrueNAS Core box. The first network is a 10.x network on a vlan and the second network is a dedicated storage network connecting to a aggregate switch and to my xcp-ng boxes on a 172.x network.

The issue im having is that I have the default gateway set for the 10.x network so the traffic from my xcp-ng boxes are coming in on the 172.x address but then because the default gateway is set on the 10.x network its returning on that network to the xcp-ng boxes. I put a static route in TrueNAS saying to push anything for the 172.x address to the 192.x network but TrueNas/FreeBSD is still sending the traffic over the 10.x network.

Whats the proper way to configure this? I’m assuming removing the default gateway and setting up a bunch of static routes would probably work but that becomes allot to manage with multiple networks connected to my router.

On your switch you need to create a VLAN of 100 for example. Then create a VLAN interface on truenas with the same VLAN ID. Configure your switch as a trunk port that has VLAN 100 configured on it. Then setup XCP-ng VLAN interface of 100.

Make sure you have bound your iscsi interface to your vlan100. There shouldn’t be any static routes for this.

Thank you. I set this up as you described and everything works in terms of the storage and iSCSI.

I realized that it also worked the way I had it before for storage but what I was doing was using that storage network to migrate a bunch of VM’s from the old storage to the new storage which I know your not supposed to do on a storage network but it was a one time thing just to speed up that move process.
