Static IP Configuration on Unraid Server

Static IP Configuration for a Unraid Server

In this article, we will cover the topic of setting up a static IP configuration for a Unraid server, allowing for full local intranet access while disabling internet access. We will begin with an overview of the topic and then move on to the specific steps required to implement this configuration.

Overview

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client-server architecture. However, there may be situations where a static IP configuration is desired.

A static IP configuration is a manual configuration of a device's IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server. This is in contrast to a dynamic IP configuration, where these values are automatically assigned by a DHCP server. A static IP configuration can be useful in situations where a device needs to be accessible from the internet, or where a device needs a consistent IP address for other devices to connect to it.

Steps for Configuring a Static IP for a Unraid Server

Here are the steps for configuring a static IP for a Unraid server:

1. Log in to the Unraid web interface

2. Click on the "Settings" tab

3. Click on "Network Services" in the left-hand menu

4. Under the "Network Configuration" section, select "Static" from the "Network Configuration Type" drop-down menu

5. Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server in the appropriate fields

6. Click "Apply" to save the changes

    
        static
        192.168.1.100
        255.255.255.0
        192.168.1.1
        192.168.1.1
    

After following these steps, your Unraid server will be configured with a static IP address, giving you full local intranet access while disabling internet access.
