NIC Bonding on ReadyNAS
Hi, is it possible to span a bonded interface on a ReadyNAS across two managed switches that have a LAG link between them - something like below. The idea being that devices on the left will use l...
Imho, this is is the easiest, cheapest, most efficient solution in your situation: https://i.imgur.com/BSD2u6r.png
No expensive hardware upgrade required, very easy to setup, and you won't get any significantly higher performance with a RN104 whatever other solution you use.
(Again, in my opinion)
It is possible to set up such a bond, but it won't behave as you want. The ethernet mac address in each IP packet will determine how the GS108 routes the packet. .
You could alternatively set up two IP addresses for the NAS, and not bond. Then the client->NAS traffic routing will be determined by which IP address is used by the client. The NAS might not send its data on the same NIC though.
But the truth is that the RN104 is limited by its CPU, and that you won't get improved network speeds by trying any of these tricks. What speeds are you seeing now?
