TS-459 Pro+ with two NICs
The TS-459 Pro+ has two NICs. I would like to know if it is possible to increase the input for backups by connecting the second NIC. And if so, how that can be done. Thanks

Re: TS-459 Pro+ with two NICs
Port Trunking doesn't help in this circumstance. The useful Port Trunking options on the NAS require an expensive "Managed" Gigabit Switch, and this won't do anything for your throughput unless there are multiple Dual-NIC devices accessing it at the same time.nathans77 wrote:The TS-459 Pro+ has two NICs.

Check out the Port Trunking information in the fine manual.

I did my main 469L(Q1) with LACP and have had good results. While backing up to two other NAS's (A second 469L(Q2) and a NetReady Ultra2+) and get ~190MB throughput between the two boxes. The Ultra was on the same switch as the Q1 and the Q2 was 2 switches (regular switches) downstream. Only the Q1 had LACP enabled, and of course a managed switch to support it. It will never exceed the speed of a regular connect to any one transfer. You need multiple connections to realize any speed increase.

With numbers like that I'd say your configuration was definitely successful. Great work!kherr4377 wrote:I did my main 469L(Q1) with LACP and have had good results.

It's more of a "can I do" as apposed to " I need to do" thing......
