Plex and it's IP

Post by spikemixture »

I have 3 adapters from my TVS-1282 connected to my router or switch .

The ip's are
192.168.1.80
192.168.1.81
192.168.1.82

Plex appears to randomly pick an ip.

I have weird things going on with plex and my network

Is there anywhere I can set, say 192.168.1.82 as my plex IP

Which one does plex choose for you and does it matter?

I actually have four nics connected plus a 10GBE
My virtual switch does not show any except the one with an actual virtual switch (Virtualization Station)
Which Plex doesn't pick !

Don’t have 3 ip’s on the same subnet/vlan. Use port trunking assuming your switch supports it.

You can manually assign it to 1 interface via advanced options in the GUI.

See faq as starting point.

Why? 1 for main connection , #2 for failover and the 3rd for virtual switch .

BTW I have ongoing trouble with port trunking (using all options) so gave up on that.

You can manually assign it to 1 interface via advanced options in the GUI.

Advanced options in which GUI and where?

See faq as starting point.
