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.
Do you have a backup of your data?
Yep...
Hello SGINAZ,
What IP address and subnet mask are you trying to manual enter in the settings of the NAS?

Hi JennC.
I'm trying to force it to always use 10.0.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. That is what is currently assigned (and reserved) by the DHCP server on my network but I want to configure the NAS to always use that value even if the DHCP server is offline. My expectation is that changing the setting from DHCP to static would be all I need to do but it merely reverts to DHCP. As noted above, this happens even when directly connected and it defaults to 192.168.168.168. When I try to assign a different static IP also within the 192.168.168.X it also reverts to DHCP and 192.168.168.168.
One symptom of a filling OS partition is that settings don't stick.
Do you have ssh enabled?
