Many options that were in v1 are not in v2, such as Printer support, Network UPS (later added?), DHCP server (yes, rare option). Seeing as Sparc hardware from 2004 did it, I'd be surprised that this ARM setup built by NTGR in 2011 would not. Has anyone tried using ifconfig on shell to change the MTU? Anyone know if this is possible? Should be possible via ifconfig, if the hardware supports it, I would guess it is a marvell ethernet port and would be surprised if it didn't :shock: i just tried this via ssh and you can change the mtu to 9000, but i can't prove that it's working properly. doing file transfers (writes to NAS) to test it gives ranges all over the place. i made sure to change my mbp mtu to 9000 as well and remembered to mount/remount drives after changing the mtu values. also i don't think the max mtu value is 9000 for the duo v2. i believe it was 7XXX was the max mtu value on the duo v1. not sure if it's the same for the v2. :( also after making the adjustment of the mtu value on the duo v2, if you restart the NAS, the mtu value resets.

I am unsure of the verion of linux the ReadyNas uses, but it should be able to be made permanent by editing the ifup file, which usually resides in /etc.
typing ifconfig at the shell should show the mtu of the ethernet adapter usualy eth0, if it doesn't work, you should get an error when running ifup eth0

After editing the mtu value, do an ifdown eth0 or whatever the interface is called in ifconfig and then do an ifup eth0 and that should be all that is required to add jumbo frame support I would have thought, thats all I do on my linux boxes, whether this is different for the ReadyNas I have no idea.
