I have hooked up the 2.5G switch to my F4-223 & F4-423 and I am very happy now to see 2.5G connection speed between them.

I had really expected not to have to buy this switch since both TNAS had dual 2.5G LAN connections.

@Gremlin

Thank you for your insight and explanation on this matter.

I have to admit, the way the two LAN ports work on the back of the TNAS is not the functionality I was expecting.

I have taken your advice from earlier and ordered a 2.5G switch.

OK, maybe I have it. Your LAN 1 and LAN 2 are still both on the same (192.168.7.nnn) network segment. I am interested in your translation/perspective of this response I received today from TM support. I don't totally understand what they are telling me to do or what the problem is. We believe that ...

I have no idea why this forum is not putting in the line spacings I make. It looks good when I write it out, but once it is posted its all crammed together. I'll try logging out and back in again for my next posting.

Do I need to make a change to the interface settings on one or both of my TNAS devices, or is this a setting chan...

[at=Gremlin post_id=33637 time=1709805992 user_id=6052][/at] Thanks for your comments, I tend to agree with your supposition. Yes, it would be easier for me to buy a 2.5G switch, but with these TNAS devices each having two LAN ports, I assumed I could connect them together that way, and save the mon...

I connected each TNAS directly to the 1G switch by their LAN 2 connections, and set the IP on each as as manual from DHCP. Then I reconnected each TNAS to each other as outlined earlier. I am not sure what you mean by this statement: However, you can connect to the IP of another TNAS when setting up...

You need to separately set static IPs for LAN2 of two devices. For example: F4-423 LAN2: 10.10.10.4 F4-223 LAN2: 10.10.10.2 Then you can access each other through IP. I made the change you suggested but it did not fix the problem. I still can not access each NAS when they are connected to each othe...

Okay, so I tried connecting these two TNAS devices together via their 2.5G ports and it didn't work. Here is how I connected them together: 1Gbps Switch -> LAN #1 F4-423 -> LAN #2 F4-423 -> LAN #2 F4-223 When I look at the interface settings for LAN #2 F4-423 it shows no IP address. Here is a screen...
