MAdD Posted July 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2020 Hi all, i did something very stupid. I enabled VLAN (802.1Q) and now i'm not able to connect to my xpenolgy machine. Is there a way to reset the network settings? The xpenolgy is living in ESXi. I'm able to get in the grub settings and menu. Thanks in advance for your answer(s).

flyride Posted July 27, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 27, 2020 Do you know what VLAN # you chose? If you have a managed switch, you should be able to map the ports for your PC and NAS to join that VLAN and then you will be able to connect. If you have a passive switch, check the NIC configuration on your computer to see if you can add the VLAN tag there. Short of those options, I'm not sure how one would recover from this situation.

MAdD Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted July 28, 2020 got it back up and running.. seems that during the change, ESX also found it neccessary to change the NIC. Turning off the machine in ESX, removed the NIC saved, add new NIC Issue solved... thanks for tips and tricks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
