Unable to get network connection on VM in TrueNAS-12.0-U8
I'm attempting to create an Ubuntu VM in TrueNAS (which uses bhyve), but nothing I try will allow the VM to obtain an IP address.
I think there has to be something misconfigured on the host, because I've tried installing 3 different OS variations -Ubuntu 20.04.4 server, Ubuntu 20.04.4 desktop, and FreePBX16 (based on CentOS 7.8.2003). Most of my troubleshooting efforts have been within the Ubuntu 20 server.
None of the installers got a network connection either, so it doesn't seem to be a consequence of deleting the CD-ROM device that has the installation ISO mounted. At any rate, the interface shown by ip a matches interface in /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml.
- Host is running TrueNAS-12.0-U8
- Jails on the same system are able to access the network without issue.
- No VLANS are configured on the network
- The host's physical interface I want to use is
igb0
- The "NIC" device for the VMS are configured to use igb0 and VirtIO adapter. Have also tried the Intel adapter, but it didn't help.
- The "predictable interface name" shown by
ip amatches interface in /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml. In cases where it had to be corrected,netplan applydidn't fix it. But if I change the device order before first boot, they match from the start.
- Pinging any IP address returns
ping: connect: Network is unreachable, so of course pinging any domain returnsping: <domain>: Temporary failure in name resolution ip routereturns nothing- The "Delay VM Boot until VNC Connects" option in the VM configuration is disabled.
- I even tried flushing the host's arp cache (
arp -d -a) because I found a forum post somewhere that said it had helped them
I'm running out of ideas of other remedies to attempt.

Not sure why it refused to work with interface igb0, but when I reconfigured the NIC device to use the other ethernet port (igb1) everything started to work as expected.
