The
miimon
setting specifies the MII link monitoring frequency in milliseconds, which determines how often the link
state of each slave is inspected for link failures. The
miimon
setting has a value of 100 instead of the default value of 0.

Enable DHCP on bond0 interface
To configure a
bond0
interface using DHCP, you need to enable DHCP on that interface. The
bond0
interface inherits
the IP address that was dynamically assigned to the
eth0
interface when the DSM was initially deployed.
Log on to the CLI console and navigate to the Network category of commands and enable DHCP.
Example
0004:network$ ip dhcp enable bond0 version 4
WARNING: Changing network ip address may disconnect your session and will require the server
software to be restarted.
Continue? (yes|no)[no]:yes
DHCP operations may take some time, please wait....
SUCCESS: Please restart server software to pick up the changes.

Configure NTP, time zone, date, time
You must have the correct time set on your DSM server(s) as this will affect system functions such as agent
registration, log timestamps, high availability cluster synchronization, and certificate exchange. Although configuring
an NTP server is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended.
1. Navigate to the
maintenance commands
menu. Type:
0001:dsm$ maintenance
2. Show the current ntpdate settings. Type:
0002:maintenance$ ntpdate show
3. Add a new ntpdate server. Type:
0002:maintenance$ ntpdate add
<IP address/FQDN>
4. Repeat this step for each ntpdate server.
5. Activate the ntpdate server connection. Type:
0003:maintenance$ ntpdate on
6. Show the current timezone settings. Type:
0004:maintenance$ gmttimezone show
7. Set the country and city where the DSM resides. Type:
0005:maintenance$ gmttimezone set
<country/city>
8. Set the date. (If you used
ntpdate synch
, this step is not necessary.) Type:
0006:maintenance$ date
<mm/dd/yyyy>
9. Set the time. (If you used
ntpdate synch
, this step is not necessary.) Type:
0007:maintenance$ time
<hh:mm:ss>
