Using 10Gbit Eth‐thunderbolt adapter with Bigfoot NAS - norlab-ulaval/Norlab_wiki GitHub Wiki

This guide explains how to profit from the 10Gbit network card that we have on the Bigfoot Synology NAS.

Configuration

The 10Gbit card is accessible on Bigfoot's side, and the corresponding ethernet interface is named LAN 5. The interface is configured as a DHCP server, so your computer's IP address gets assigned automatically. DHCP configuration is located in DHCP Server->Network Interface->LAN 5. If you click on Edit, you will find a list of all connected clients. NAS DHCP config

The NAS itself has a static IP address that's assigned in Control Panel->Network->Network Interfaces->LAN 5 and is not listed among the connected clients. The NAS IP address is: 192.168.1.10.

Connection

To make use of the 10Gbit connection, you will either need a 10Gbit card on your computer or use the Sonnettech Ethernet-to-USB-C adapter. Sonnettech adapter

In any case, make sure to enable jumbo frames (9000 MTU) on your computer.

Then, you can either access the web interface on this address or use your file browser:

You should see transfer speeds of about 1.2GB/s.

New technique to access FoMo data as a folder in your system

  1. Create an ether net config for this adresse: **ip adresses: **192.168.1.11 **Netmask adresse: ** 255.255.255.0

  2. Connect the adaptor to your pc

  3. Select your ethernet configuration

  4. Create a folder /mnt/bigfoot

  5. Install nfs-common if not already on your computer

sudo apt install nfs-common
  1. Then in your terminal, mount the folder that was define as a share folder:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.10:/volume1/FoMo /mnt/bigfoot

PS: The command needs to be executed each time your connecting. To make it automatically boot when you power on your computer you need to modify the file /etc/fstab and add the following line:

192.168.1.10:/volume1/FoMo /mnt/bigfoot nfs defaults 0 0
