Readynas Ultra 6 Network issues??
Hi, Monday morning I could not access fileshares on my Ultra 6. When I looked into the active client list on my router, its 2 permanent network connections were missing in the list. I had a look...
The NAS devices are connected to a smart ups.
The switch is managed , not smart.
However I could monitor the trafic (i think).
At the moment the problem NAS is still running and surprisingly fast.
What bonding mode are you using for the two ethernet ports?
Did you try power-cycling the switch?
There is no bonding AFIK. Just 2 IP adresses.
Next time I will try power cycling the switch.
If I switch the drives, will it work out of the box?

Not ideal unless you are connecting the NAS to two different networks. I suggest removing one of the ethernet cables while you are troubleshooting this.
Do you have ssh enabled on both NAS?

Yes. Make sure both NAS are powered down when you do the switch. Also, I recommend labeling the drives as you removed them (Both slot number and the original NAS).
The configuration is all stored on the drives, and the NAS boots from the drives. Obviously there are differences between the platforms, but the systems should apply the relevant changes when they first boot.
Are you seeing any other issues, especially related to power on/off? One possibility here is that the +5VSB (+5 volts standby), which powers the NIC and power on/off circuit, is failing. It's a bit early to say for sure that's it unless you are having other related issues. A replacement power supply would fix that.
