I was having issues getting this working initially. I came to find out that the Mellanox ConnectX-3 adapter I was using had a driver fault that made this not work. I got a CHELSIO CC2-N320E-SR instead and it worked fine. If this does not work, it might be a driver issue. This post is more of a PSA than a how-to, as its pretty easy.<\/p>\n

Save the following (but replace the adapter names and IP with what you want) to somewhere as a .sh file<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/sh\r\nifconfig bridge create\r\nsleep 1\r\nifconfig bridge0 addm nic1 addm nic2 up\r\nifconfig nic1 up\r\nifconfig nic2 up\r\nifconfig bridge0 inet ipaddress\/cidr\r\nifconfig nic1 mtu 9000\r\nifconfig nic2 mtu 9000\r\nifconfig bridge0 mtu 9000\r\nsleep 5 \r\nservice ctld stop \r\nsleep 1\r\nservice ctld reload\r\nsleep 1\r\nservice ctld start<\/pre>\nOn the FreeNAS web interface, go to tasks > init\/shutdown scripts and click add.<\/p>\n
Set the type as command, the command to “sh \/path\/to\/your\/script.sh”, and when to post init.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now it will boot and run the script to setup the bridge and start ISCSI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
