oasis475 Posted February 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2014 Hi All, I am new to Xpenology. I have 6 NICs in my NAS but xpenology is set to only 4. here is my grup.conf #serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 #terminal serial default 0 timeout 3 fallback 0 title DSM 5.0-4418 BETA root (hd0,0) #vender /vender show #hw_model kernel /zImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=6 syno_hw_version=DS3612xs mac1=00241DD67728 mac2=00241DD67729 mac3=00241DD67730 mac4=00241DD67731 mac5=00241DD67732 mac6=00241DD67733 sn=B3J4N00355 initrd /rd.gz synolgy assistant is picking up two NAS because of MAC address difference. can someone help me change all MAC address to same type so sinology assistant picks up my NAS as 1 device.

stanza Posted February 3, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2014 Why not use the REAL MAC Address of the cards? you can find them in the dmesg output either dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.txt then vi /tmp/dmesg.txt and scroll until you find them all or dmesg | grep "eth" and search for them that way should look something like eg S3200SH2> dmesg | grep "eth" [ 0.236988] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_._OSC] (Node ffff88011f04f4c0), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20110623/psparse-536) [ 1.861811] e1000 0000:03:00.0: eth0: (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 00:02:a5:4e:b6:d4 [ 1.861920] e1000 0000:03:00.0: eth0: Intel® PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 2.155804] e1000 0000:03:00.1: eth1: (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 00:02:a5:4e:b6:d5 [ 2.155912] e1000 0000:03:00.1: eth1: Intel® PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 2.354192] e1000 0000:03:02.0: eth2: (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 00:15:17:28:06:5e [ 2.354299] e1000 0000:03:02.0: eth2: Intel® PRO/1000 Network Connection [ 2.354437] jme: JMicron JMC2XX ethernet driver version 1.0.8 [ 18.867636] usbcore: registered new interface driver ethub [ 19.479383] e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX [ 19.480267] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 19.481166] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [ 19.526824] e1000: eth2 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX [ 19.527773] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready [ 19.529555] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth2: link becomes ready [ 19.573960] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [ 30.098005] eth0: no IPv6 routers present S3200SH2> so in my system I have 1 x e1000 Intel controller (onboard motherboard) 2 x e1000 Intel controllers on an add in dual port card... So the add in card is easy to spot, as it has 2 x similar MAC addresses.... just a different ending number on each port 00:02:a5:4e:b6:d4 << 00:02:a5:4e:b6:d5 << So in my case Xpenology detects the add in card 1st, then the onboard card so I edit my grub.conf file to match S3200SH2> cat /volumeUSB1/usbshare/boot/grub/grub.conf #serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 #terminal serial default 0 timeout 3 fallback 0 title DSM 4.3-3810 - v1.1 Beta 5 - HBA (SCSI / SAS) root (hd0,0) # vender /vender show # hw_model kernel /zImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=3 syno_hw_version=DS3612xs mac1=0002A54EB6D4 mac2=0002A54EB6D5 mac3=00151728065E sn=B3J4N00333 initrd /rd.gz reboot and eth0 = Lan1 eth1 = Lan2 eth3 = Lan3 .

oasis475 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Stanza, Thank you for the reply. All 6 of my NICs are working fine and have IP address and XPenology will see all 6 NICs and can use then without any problem. Problem is that, Xpenology will only spoof first 4 NIC ports MAC addresses From Dmesg: mac1=00241DD67728 mac2=00241DD67729 mac3=00241DD67730 mac4=00241DD67731 it does not say anything else about mac5 and mac6. also in GUI: here is the list of Mac address: LAN1=00241DD67728 LAN2=00241DD67729 LAN3=00241DD67730 LAN4=00241DD67731 LAN5=00151728065E LAN6=00151728065F Because of the two types of MAC address, synology assistant will pick up my NAS as two devices.

stanza Posted February 5, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 5, 2014 I will have to have a play myself. Looks like we have the same type cards tho, looking at the MAC Addresses.... Have you tried editing the synoinfo.conf files? maybe need to add more eth3_wol_options="g" sections? as there is already enough eth7_mtu="1500" type sections there for up to 8 lan cards ?? Mine has two differnt type mac address sections like yours, and doesn't detect as two different Synologies. Have you changed your serial number?.... what programs are installed? .

oasis475 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted February 6, 2014 Hi, Yes I have added the lines for Eth5 and eth 6. I did see that file says MAXLAN = "8" so I connected all 5 ports to the switch and I see 5 synology in synology assistance tool. all 5 synology devices in synology assistance have same serial number and same version... only MAC address is different on all of them. I have default serial number and I do not have any applications installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanza Posted February 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 7, 2014 Well of course that's going to happen Your dhcp server is assigning IP to each one Plug one port only into switch Setup xpenology Then go into networking and either assign bonds or some other IP What are you trying to achieve as an end result? .

oasis475 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted February 7, 2014 I was hoping to see 1 synology device in SA when I have multiple NIC connected. I guess I will just create a bound network to resolve that problem. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
