RN312 with 2xRJ45 switch ? +vlan setting deletion
Hi, my question (#1) is how works RN312 with two ethernet ports. I have insufficient number of ports on my router/switch. ReadyNAS unit is connected to router/switch using port 1, while port 2 i...
So it would not be generally possible, to connect another device on LAN port 2 and create bridge mode somehow? I guess VLAN does not work like this (like bridge for 2 networks with same IP range)? But there is in IP address setting listing DHCP, so where from does it lease the DHCP address?
I am still experiencing problem with the VLAN deletion on unactive LAN port 2, where is currently no device connected (attached screenshot).
I have tried searching for "vlan" file, which results by list attached below, but i havent found any config file or so. Where is VLAN settings stored? I mean file name or file location. Please dont tell me i have to reinstall whole ReadyNAS OS for the one simple task. Thank you.

Ok, so i have found file /etc/network/interfaces where was located vlan configuration. I have truncated the file to 0 bytes and voila, it works.
So now, it only remains the first part of my question to answer.
So it would not be generally possible, to connect another device on LAN port 2 and create bridge mode somehow? I guess VLAN does not work like this (like bridge for 2 networks with same IP range)? But there is in IP address setting listing DHCP option, so where from does it lease the DHCP address? If i would connect some device to the the LAN port 2, would it lease IP address from home network router, which is connected to my NAS server through LAN port 1?
Thank you in advance for your help.
While creating bridges in Linux is possible, I don't know if the ReadyNAS OS has all the kernel modules and other tools to create one. But I don't see the value in bucket-brigading anything through the NAS instead of buying a <$20 switch.
The difference is one box vs two boxes with another cables. Why not to use hardware, that ReadyNAS unit already has and could be capable of using, instead of buying another box for 20 dollars. So what is the purpose of the second 1Gbit port? Only network bonding to 2Gbit with routers, that support it? If i would think like that, i would not run mFi server, Pi-hole server and Teamspeak server on my ReadyNAS, but i would have something like 3 another Raspberry Pi boxes, and probably also 2 another switches, which is not very smart.
I would like to know what happens, if i connect another network device to port 2 of ReadNAS. Is it gonna lease IP from my home router?
The difference is that the NAS isn't designed for that. You are using the NAS processor to do functions better suited for other devices. You can use a brick to pound in a nail once, and it's free if you already have the brick. But if you plan to pound in lots of nails, purchasing a hammer makes more sense.
The main use for the two ports is aggregation. But you can also set them up on different networks. If one dies, you have another. And before I discovered ZeroTier, I was even using one for a VPN.
