2nd ethernet port for backup data to other readynas?
Hi all,
I can't get the following setup to work:

Excuse me, the ethernet port 2 i had configured 192.168.2.89 with gateway 192.168.2.254 (same as NV+)
The idea is that i use the NAS once per month to backup the MainNAS, so i dont need an internet connection to it.
Besides, I have a problem that my NV+ cant run for more thant 30hrs, it will shutdown with the Note that Fan1 has failed... I can't resolve this. I have opened the NV+ and put air through it to clean from dust (no dust there).

Again, you can't use the 192.168.2 bit for the second port of the pro (or the NV+, since it has to match).

You'll have no idea if the backups are successful or if the NAS health if you set it this way. You'll have no connection to it at all (because you can't access it via the pro). The switch is inexpensive, and it solves that problem.

The fan is replaceable (though of course it could be a sensor problem, which can't be fixed). Although I wouldn't put a lot of money in an NV+ (it's just too old), a fan might be reasonable.
My own NV+ is on a power schedule. It turns on once a day, backs up shares on my RN526x and then shuts itself down when the backup completes. I get daily completion emails,so I know the status It typically takes about half an hour for the backups to complete.
