How to configure new driver? #247

Closed aeon3 closed 11 months ago

aeon3 commented 1 year ago

Hi! I'm very new to NAS interface. I just followed the steps to install the driver but I can't find a way to configure it.

Also it says first time running I should do special steps, but I can't find the readme to follow those required special steps.

THANKS!

edit: I have zero connection when I use the 2.5G adapter, so I cant really edit the connection settings to set MTU and SMB

This?

Note:

The installation will fail the first time. After that, run the following command from the SSH terminal: sudo install -m 4755 -o root -D /var/packages/r8152/target/r8152/spk_su /opt/sbin/spk_su

Then make a script in TaskScheduler (root) with this commands

ifconfig eth2 up synonet –dhcp eth2

Thank you!

2 concerns though:

1- How do I make this script? do I SSH from my pc? I have no clue how to arrive at the part

2- I dont think a new NIC was added to my NAS after the driver installation. I only see LAN 1, LAN 2 and PPPOE. I have a ds920+ which has 2 rj45 ports. So shouldnt I be seeing a 3rd LAN?

Did you already execute :

sudo install -m 4755 -o root -D /var/packages/r8152/target/r8152/spk_su /opt/sbin/spk_su via SSH??

You can find the Taskscheduler under Control Panel > Task Scheduler > User defined script. Give a name for your script and run it is as Root. Add

ifconfig eth2 up synonet –dhcp eth2

Save it and reboot.

What is the purpose of script? What schedule did you set up?

Sjekke commented 1 year ago

If your NAS already has 2 network ports (eth0 and eth1), the new 2.5 Gbit/s adapter will be called eth2. If your NAS has only one network port by default, the new adapter will be named eth1. If your NAS has 4 network ports, the adapter will be named eth4... The first line (above) will mount/upload the new network card. The second applies the default DHCP setting to this card. Scheduled > boot

Followed everything you mentioned but still doesnt work :(

lan 1 works fine, its the one in the back of the NAS. When I connect the ethernet cable to the adapter I lose connection.

Sjekke commented 1 year ago

Can you edit LAN 3?

aeon3 commented 1 year ago

Can you edit LAN 3?

Yes, I think it might have worked now. I edited it and gave it a static IP similar do the DHCP one. I dont understand why DHCP wasn't working for this connection.

Is there something else I need to doublecheck?

Sjekke commented 1 year ago

Then it should work. What is the connection speed?

aeon3 commented 1 year ago

I havent received my 2.5G switch yet to test the full speed. Right now it says 1000 Mbps and transfer speeds max out at around 110 MB/s.

Should arrive in the next few days :)

However, I couldn't find a way to change MTU to 1900 and SMB protocol to v3. DO you know how I can do those changes?

TheS1R commented 1 year ago

DSM --> Control Panel --> Network --> Network Interface --> LAN 3 --> Edit --> Set MTU value manually. DSM --> Control Panel --> File Services --> SMB --> Advanced Settings --> Minimum/Maximum SMB protocol.

Ok 👍. Glad I could help.

thanks! should I put SMB3 in both min and max?

thank you so much, couldnt have done it without you.

Guys one last question that came to my mind, if anyone can chime in. Since I changed the MTU to 1900 in the NAS connection, should I also find a way to change to in each of my computers that are connecting to the NAS? Those are still with the default 1500 MTU.

TheS1R commented 1 year ago

MTU of 1900? Do you mean 9000?

aeon3 commented 1 year ago

MTU of 1900? Do you mean 9000?

Yes, my bad. 9000. Is it enough to change just that parameter just in the NAS network settings?

Sjekke commented 1 year ago

You must configure it on every device that will be accessing the NAS ...

You must configure it on every device that will be accessing the NAS ...

So I have my PC and NAS connected to a switch which is connected to a router which is connected to a modem.

The switch is auto managed so I cant do anything with it.

In this scenario which devices would I need to tweak the MTU? Only my Pc?

aeon3 commented 1 year ago

guys its me again.

so I just updated my NAS and it wiped out the 2.5G LAN settings...will that happen with every update? Is there a way to bypass that? Or a way to make it reconfigure those upon finishing the update?

i dont like how unreliable it turns out to be if im away from the NAS and I lose connection for good. I had to take out the cable from the 2.5G adapter and replug it back into one of the regular 1G ports to get access again.

You may need to change the router's setting, but no need for the switch typically.

Usually, the settings are retained after the DSM is updated. Please create a new issue and let me know if the problem recurs.
