Configure multiple IPs/interfaces on RND4000
Hi, Is it possible to configure multiple IP addresses in a RND4000? I need to be able to connect the unit to two home networks, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. Hardware-wise the unit has a...
Also look at e.g. the RN214 which is more powerful than the RN204. If you can get the RN214 for a good price that would be the way to go.
No. The CPU architecture, RAID format and filesystem are all different.
Would be best to get new disks for the new NAS and use backup jobs to copy your data across: How do I back up data from a RAIDiator 4 system to a ReadyNAS OS 6 system?
Then reverse the source and destination of the backup jobs to use the old NAS to backup the new.
I don't think the NV+ includes USB-NIC drivers.
Connecting a hub to both networks is a bad idea, it will destabilize both networks (and won't solve your problem).
So connecting the NAS directly to both networks is not possible.
But there might be some other options depending on how you want to use the NAS, and how the two networks are arranged.
What services do you need on both networks? Are both routers sharing the same internet connection, (one behind the other), or are there two WAN connections? What routers do you have?
I use the NAS almost entirely as a network drive so want to be able to mount shares from the device to PCs and MACs.
The routers use different internet connections, II have two different broadband connections to my house, both of which are used by different machines yet both groups of machine want to access the shared drive.
The two routers are ones provided by the broadband vendors, so a BT Home Hub 5 and a Virgin Media SuperHub.
I am willing to consider purchasing a smart switch of some kind if needs be although currently I cannot envisage how adding VLANs in would help at all, unless the RND4000 can cope with VLAN configs.
Your NAS does allow you to set a VLAN tag, but I think it only supports one. Unfortunately the software manual doesn't describe the functionality. Perhaps mdgm-ntgr can give some more information. Newer NAS definitely have the feature you want (the RN102 has just one NIC, but does have vlan support. All the others have two NICs).
Though a smartswitch with VLAN support could make sense for you anyway, since VLANs would let you move devices from one network to another w/o rewiring.
To do what you want you'd be best to get a new ReadyNAS that runs ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0
