  • Synology Bonding

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Sun May 7 07:39:00 2023
    I have a Synology DS1010+ in my homelab. I did some cleaning up this
    week, re-routing cables here and there, dusting out old fans, cleaning
    up unused cables, and so forth.

    I set up bonding on my NAS, and have 2 gig ports showing up as a single
    bonded pair. I was streaming video from the NAS while cleaning up, and I
    was able to pull the second ethernet cable without affecting the stream.
    When I pulled the first cable, playback stopped for about 30 seconds.
    Odd.

    My original plan was to have the NAS dual homed into two separate
    switches in my office. One's in a router I use as an AP, the other is a
    desktop switch. I have 2 ethernets running downstairs from my office to
    my cable modem and had thought about building some redundancy between
    the two, but I'm using the second ethernet for an office phone line now.

    Hi,
    Most times when people use the bonding with multiple network cards they are trying to get more than 1 gig of throughputout of the nas.
    In order for this to work you will also need a switch that will support lags. If you are just wanting to provide nic insurance I don't think having one network card into each switch will work for you as this may cause you a routing loop on the network where you have a single mac address showing up on more than one switch.

    Bonded mode only works correctly, from what I understand, with a managed switches set to bonded on the other side. So would maybe double check you're even getting the throughput you expect.

    I've got my bonding pair set to adaptive link aggregation, which is
    supposed to work without any settings on the switch. All of the usual
    link aggregation protocols are also available.
