UPS for ReadyNAS 6 + ReadyNAS Duo
Hi guys, This forum seems to have loads of info, but also way too much info! I've searched around but can't find the answers I need. I'd like to get a UPS for my pair of ReadyNAS devices. I have: ...

If command is already given, it will shutdown..
If lease expires before command and DHCP-Server is offline, then ofcourse it doesnt.
Chances are pretty slim as DHCP-discover-offer takes milliseconds to devices obtain a new lease.
As I said, its not so importand, but its better to have Router also with UPS.
(As you wont get e-mail also, that power failed without it)
Other option would be to use static DHCP assignement (By MAC address), then DHCP-Server is needed only when "client" Devices will boot or are disconnected/re-connected to network .. ;)
Lease which would be given is "infinite" then...
