How to setap virtual switch on TS-351 with one adapter??

Post by nikods »

Hi all :-)

I have ts 351 and it supports virtual machines , when I use linux station it creates a virtual switch and my qnap nas ip adress stay the same, but when I try to make switch manually to use windows virtual machine I can not do it. If I select physical Ethernet adapter then it locks it and changes its ip and I can not change it, If i make bridged adapter the VM does not have internet. I can not find a manual that is for a qnap that has only one ethernet adapter. Can you point me to the manual or give some pointers, it would be much appreciated. On the network overview it shows me vm connected to virtual switch and him attached to nat layer (no line to the physical adapter). NAT and dhcp are enabled on switch and I tried different combinations to the swich, different gw, diferent dns, nothing happens in regard to internet conectivity. I can not believe qnap has no manual for this model that can teach me to do this. maybe I should have use my free nas, but qnap ts351 is small and it sounded better then free nas, especialy ability to use it as a pc too. now after spending all that money I lost 2 weeks and can not use it yet... Anyway, thanks for the help, since support does not help at all. They sent me the manual from the website...

Hi,

For the general setup of virtual switches there is this

Hi, i have a ts-251b and also can not install vm. When i try to install, after a minute the network is disconnected and I cannot access the nas. Have you been able to solve the problem?

I gave up on this, the ts 351 is a big BIG disappointment, I tried 3 different md2+ ssd and did not get it to work, even with the disks which are on the supported list, I even replaced the unit but its the same. It is good as a photo station and for network storage but for advanced users it is worthless. I am sorry for not researching more before going proprietary, i used to use free nas but wished for more expensive solution in order to spend less time configuring and updating it but from this perspective I was spectacularly wrong. Virtualization for this is ok on paper but in fact very rudimentary and not for general use.
best regards to all Niko
