MAC Address all Zeroes
Hi Everyone,
I have a bizarre issue I have never seen before.
I have 2 ReadyNAS Pro4's. I swapped this disks from one to the other today and could not access it. Assumed there was an issue with the volume or OS, but eventually I realised that the issue was that the MAC address on both eth0 and eth1 has set to 00:00:00:00:00:00. It displays as such through Frontview, RAIDar and via cli using ifconfig.
It appears my router blocks arp from this address (probably a good thing) so I can only access the unit directly with my laptop, unless I log in and change the MAC address manually.
Once the MAC address is changed everything works fine. Only issue is I cannot find a way to make it persistent.
Any suggestions?
