ReadNAS Duo V1 - Won't Keep Static IP
Hello, For all the years I've used my ReadyNAS DUO (V1) I've had it configured to pull it's IP address via DHCP. I now have reason to assign it a static IP but for some reason, whenever I change the s...
Update! Problem appears to be solved. I directly edited the interfaces file to force the IP config to be static:
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.1.1Since resolv.conf was already configured correctly (10.0.1.1) I left it alone.
Rebooted and my changes were retained. Now when I go to the interfaces tab in FrontView it correctly displays "Use values below" with my chosen configuration.
At this point I'm good to go. Thanks for everyone's input.
I agree. Not sure what else to try, perhaps mdgm has a thought.
Are there any RAIDiator specific configuration files that control the network interface? Is there any reason I can't/shouldn't just directly edit the interfaces file (/etc/network/interfaces) as follows:
****
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.1.1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface eth2 inet dhcp
iface eth3 inet dhcp
iface eth4 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
mode managed
essid ANY
key off

Obviously all the additional interfaces don't exist but I'd prefer to only make changes that are absolutely necessary. The resolv.conf file is already configured with the nameserver as 10.0.1.1.
My only concern is that RAIDiator might have a config file that would overwrite my changes.
Thoughts?
