reestablishing SMB-Connections lasts up to 30 minutes
Hi,
I've a 314 NAS (mounted as drive M:\) behind a HP-Procurve-Switch, for some reasons (ransomwareprotection) I disconnect that certain switch port by snmp-command - thats no problem.
Later then I reestablish that connection - switching that certain switch-port on.
Then it lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, till I can access the NAS by drive-Letter which is M:\.
Interesting is, that after switching the Procurve-Switchport on, I can access that NAS Admin-Page immediatelly, but why not the drive M: which is connected via SMB to my Windows system.
Whats the reason for that behaviour and/or is there configuration to improve - shorten that time afer switching port on an ability to connect to M:\ - the situation ?

Hi,
I installed the latest Firmeware (6.7.4.) on my NAS some days ago and now I thought to test whether something has changed relating to my problem.
Indeed, when I disable my Switch-Port (where NAS is connected to) and then (re-) enable that Switch-Port (HP-Procurve-Switch, disabling/enabling via SNMP-Command) then it lasts 10 seconds!!!! until I have a SMB-Connection to my NAS.
Amazing, thank you for your effort spent in my case.

Odd. Can you reproduce the issue then send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Hi,
as far as I can see in the logs there is nothing in particular - I jotted the time down when I did my tests 10:32 and at that time there no log-entries
Is there a deeper inview into the logs ??
Where to upload or sent the logs too ??
