ReadyNAS 104 adaptor aggregation errors
Hello, I have been using my ReadyNAS104, with the 6.7.4 firmware upgrade with no issues other than a slow connection for about two years. I just replaced my old Netgear Nighthawk router with a ne...
Hello, Thank you for your response!
Good comments on the NAS performance question, the backups have seemed very slow to me - I'll post the results of the test once completed. Good comments on the NAS performance, tho.
Here are the screenshots that you requested:
You do need to use the two ports on the R8500 that support LACP.
You also need to set up the LACP bond on the ReadyNAS.
Start with one ethernet connection (temporary disconnect eth1). You get to the NAS configuration screen by clicking on the settings wheel for eth0, and select "new bond". Configure it as shown below:
When done, make sure it all still functions, then reconnect eth1.
I followed these steps exactly. I must have done something differently this time, because I came up with a new error this time. The RN104 comes up with the error message "free_pcppages_bu1k+f4" . It froze up, and I can only start it by cycling the power.
Any ideas?
Thanks again for all of your help/suggestions.

I think someone from netgear should look at your logs. So I'd download the log zip from the NAS. Try asking mdgm-ntgr if he wants to take a look (using the message link in the upper right). Include a link to this thread.
BTW, after you rebooted, what was the bond status shown (both on the router and the NAS)?
Thanks again! I'll follow that next step -
Good quesiton on the Network adaptor status. I checked it after every reboot, just in case it happened to work! Sadly, no luck. It did not establish a bond that time either. The NAS shows two seperate ports and the router still shows the link as "inactive."
Any other thoughts or questions are welcome! I'll post the results of the NAS test (FWIW), when I figure out how to use it <insert n00b joke here>.
