networking - Static IP settings wrong? Why?



I have this issue when I try to copy files over my network (from PC to NAS).
The first file seems to copy without a problem until it reaches 99%.
It hangs for minutes and fails eventually.



Let me summarize my equipment:





  • NAS: Brand new Synology RS815 with 4x3TB in RAID10 configuration

  • Transfer medium: CAT6 cabling

  • Switch: Cisco SG500-28P

  • Patch Panel: Tried T568A and T568B termination on the patch panel. No difference there.



I'm building up my network and connected already a few cables to the patch panel.
My PC is connected to the switch without use of the patch panel (RJ45 connector on the cable). The NAS is placed near my PC for testing and is connected to a cat6 wall socket. The other end of the cable is connected to the patch panel where it is patched to the switch.
I can browse the NAS, manage the NAS by web interface

I believe it has something to do with the wiring on the patch panel or with the switch.
When I connect the NAS on another small switch near my pc, I don't have the issue.



EDIT:
I figured out that it has something to do with my static IP configuration.
After putting my NAS and Switch to DHCP, the transfers go without a problem.
I'm confused, because my setup is pretty straight forward. However, I nerver worked with a L2/L3 switch.



My internet provider has a modem with 4 ethernet ports and allows me to go online with 4 devices (wow.. thank you Telenet. 4 devices!! not..).
Their modem is also functional as router but has not many features.

From my modem I go to my own Netgear router (IP of the Netgear in the DMZ of the ISP modem).
From that netgear, I go to the cisco swtich.



How would you config the network?
The Netgear has a DHCP server, the Cisco switch has a DHCP server and also the Synology NAS has a DHCP server.


Answer



I have seen similar issues when the MTU setting is incorrect/mismatched.



Did you enable Jumbo Frames on the NAS? If so try disabling it.




Maybe with a static IP you need to set the MTU manually, but with DHCP it is detecting and setting it automatically.



Also for your Network/DHCP config. Make sure you only have one of the 3 DHCP servers enabled (I would suggest use the one on the Netgear router).

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

linux - How can I get my mediawiki to stop thinking I have cookies disabled?

I've searched half a day for how to resolve this issue, and can't figure it out. Shortly after I made my wiki a simple private wiki according to the instructions at Mediawiki's website, it started giving me this weird login error message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. If I remove those private wiki settings, the error disappears, even if I try logging in. But I need it to be a private wiki for only my team. So what do I do? Here's what I've done so far. Just to be safe, after ever change, I try rebooting Apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart In my php.ini file, I have the following set: session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5" session.cookie_secure = secure session.cookie_path = /tmp session.cookie_domain = my server's internal URL (should I even set this? this field was blank before, but not commented out) session.referer_check = Off I ran the following to ensure that the fold...
