Bonding Two Ethernet Ports Reporting 1gbps

[quella]

I have two bonded Ethernet ports (cat6 attached to a 1gbps switch ), yet under Network -> Interface and looking at the details regarding the bonded interfaces, it says Bandwidth = 1000mbps. It seems that the bonding is not functioning as expected.

I have tried a few different modes provided when creating the aggregate bond and none seems to show 2000Mbps. Any suggestions on debugging or setting up correct bonds?

I do have a smart switch and can create a true LAG, but the modes I tried did not seem to work when I LAGed the ports on the switch. Right now I'm using Dynamic Link (802.3) and still only 1Gbps being reported in the GUI.

We have not observed a similar situation, what is the TNAS device and TOS version you are currently using? In addition to possible unknown reasons, you can try to update TOS to the latest version.

Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I am on the latest 5.1.34 version of TOS but I'm still seeing this half throughput for what I would expect to be quite a bit more. Can I ask what mode you are using for your bonding setup? I'm happy to play more but seem to be running into a wall. Thanks

what is your model number?

Model: F4-423
TOS: 5.1.34

Do not attempt to set aggregation on your switch. It should be passive. TNAS will take care of the aggregation. Mine shows 2000Mbps. (In fact you could terminate the cables from the TNAS to 2 separate switches to provide resiliance.)

The issue you reported has not been verified in our lab.

@Gremlin I have tried three of the modes regarding Bonded Ethernet ports and I only am seeing 1gbps not two in the GUI. I also notice very slow SMB file transfers, but fast SSH, SFTP, SCP. Odd on the bonding and the SMB slowness. I guess it will be down to troubleshooting on my end if others have not see it. Thanks for the recommendation.

On TNAS use "Adaptive Load Balancing"
MTU == 1500

On the switch end do not use anything. (ie disable load balancing).
When established:
You should see 2 LAN ports on TNAS each with 1000 Mbps speed and bandwidth (at bottom) of 2000 Mbps

@Gremlin, thanks again for the ideas. I have one more question regarding your setup. Do you have three total IP address when the bond process is complete (Eth1/Eth2/Bond)? Or when you created your bond, did you assign one of the IPs from the two physical interfaces to the bond? The only documentation I could find was for an older TOS version and it did not really say.

Lets Say,

Eth1 = 192.168.99.101 (DHCP)
Eth2 = 192.168.99.102 (DHCP)
Bond = Would like Static 192.168.99.11

Just not sure if I should static that IP to Eth1 or Eth2.
