So, I have new, fresh XPEnology box with 3 NIC. All 3 are 1GB cards and from what I can see on port status in swith and in in DSM itself are connecting at full speed.
One NIC is used for general user access (on 1st subnet) and the other 2 NICs are bonded and used for sort of SAN (on 2nd subnet).
From Windows machines all connectivity to SMB shares via user network works fine (download speed in range of ~100Mbps), so OK.
From Mac (using user subnet) I can connect to other Windows server SMB shares and I get upt o ~100MBps download, so OK
From Mac (again on user subnet) I get only ~200KBps... definitely not OK...
When I reconfigure Mac IP to use storage subnet (the only change id do) I instantly get 120~140MBps of transfer (since it is bonded, so I guess disks speed is limt), so OK.
General SMB connectivity problems (that many Macs are facing) can be rulled out, since storage subnet to XPEnology and user subnet connection to Windows server works fine.
So from above obeservation issue seems to be specific to Mac connecting to this particular NIC on SXPEnology box. BTW same applies to AFP...
Any idea what might be wrong, how to troubleshoot and eventually fix?
