after i reboot my f6-424max my smb multi channel never works so i cam up with a procedure that i run when i think of it .... very annoying


however this time i did not exit VI correctly and i wiped out my /etc/iproute2/rt_tables files .... and i dont know what needs to be put back in that file does somone have a default config for that that i can adopt



this is the process i do to re enable multi channel

Policy-Based Routing
To ensure symmetric routing and concurrent NIC usage, configure policy-based routing:
Edit /etc/iproute2/rt_tables and add:

100 eth0table
101 eth1table

Then run the following commands:

ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 table eth0table
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 table eth1table

ip rule add from 192.168.1.27 table eth0table
ip rule add from 192.168.1.29 table eth1table

Are you saying that SMB multi-channel was working before the restart?
Have you already set 'server multi channel support = no' under TOS - Control Panel - SMB - Custom?

correct it it set in the gui but doesnt work, it only does 500mb/s per nic on the windows server side and on the nas side it only uses say lan 1 at 1gb/s. i do those settings and im able to get 1gb/s consumption on all 4 nics

my SMB multi channel works good,Here are my settings for reference：

1, the first network cable connects to the first network interface of Computer 1 and Computer 2, and the network segment of the two network interfaces is set to 192.168.7. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0;
2, the second network cable connects to the second network interface of Computer 1 and Computer 2, and the network segment of the two network interfaces is set to 192.168.8.x The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0;
3, start SMB multi-channel under TOS.

I configured the f6-424max for LACP on the two 10gbe ports and enabled smb multichannel and consistently transfer over 1GBps to an SMB enabled windows machine dual 10gbe as well. There is a switch in between. 4 HDD in Traid ext4. If I put data on the NVME drive within the NAS and transfer to an NVME drive on the PC it settles around 2.1GBps-2.3GBps.

I've not noticed a reduction in performance after a reboot. I did enable flow control on the switches and devices.
