Multiple IP Addresses
Hello community, I've been using a ReadyNAS Pro 6 for a very very long time and over the years not really bothered much with it's configuration as it was mainly used as a storage dump however unl...

Thanks guys, I've already installed 6.6.1 however the VLANs don't work.
You can add an interface via web browser however it just doesn't configure correctly for whatever reason below is an example of the entry made to /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth0.1 inet manual
vlan-raw-device eth0
This is the only entry in the file once i've added a vlan to interface eth0 with ID 1, I specified a static IP of 10.0.0.185, netmask of 255.255.255.0 and router as 10.0.0.100 however it's not pingable or accessible from outside of the NAS, within the NAS it pings fine.
below is the output from ifconfig:
eth0.1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1f:33:ea:7b:b9
inet addr:10.0.0.185 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:23232 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:3390940 (3.2 MiB)
i'm sure the broadcast is incorrect and should be the IP of the router which is 10.0.0.100 but for some reason it always defaults to 10.0.0.255 regardless of my entry in the web browser.
On a side note, where exactly is the network configuration kept, there must be a file somewhere that I can edit to fix this?

Is the switch also configured for the new VLAN?
