multiple vlan support

:idea:

Not sure if this has already been requested, but support recommended I post something here (indicating it wasnt)...

The readynas should support multiple vlans without having to use different interfaces and break high availability.
This way, you can separate management, shares and iscsi traffic on different networks / subnets for performance / security and other obvious benefits...this should be very easy to implement....

Thanks...

  • Oddly enough I was just thinking the same thing over the weekend. I would also suggest going one more step and be able to choose the interface/VLAN that a share or service is presented on preferably on an individual protocol basis.
  • I would also like this feature, along with the ability to add multiple ip addresses to each interface.
  • I don't undertand why those basic features are not yet implemented! And we need to use techniques that makes us lost support.
  • I would love to see this as well. And to take it yet another step further, have the ability to specify MTU per VLAN. I want jumbo frames for some things, but can't do it across the board. This would solve a lot of issues I have and let us get rid of a FreeNAS franken-server that is setup just because it can do all of this natively.

    As for the IP alias, I started a post several months ago describing a pretty critical need for it: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=54567 Feel free to comment, maybe it will get some attention too.
