Hi.
Strange problem this morning.
Remote working users complained everything is slow.
Early this morning I had a new backup running. It is Veeam on the LAN which takes data from another server, and stores to a Linux SMB server. The backup was very long-running and slow, but I left it going anyway. This shouldn't affect the remote users.
When I looked at the router, I see the LAN is showing 100mbps constant. I thought maybe it was just the managers streaming CCTV to their computers, but when I looked closer, I see the Veeam box -> Linux SMB. Very strange. Also, all the interfaces and NICs are 1Gbps anyway so doubly strange.
I think it may have something to do with the bond configuration on Linux which maybe isn't right. I am going to drop it anyway because between NFS and Samba, it doesn't get utilised very well.
I have an IP address on the bond, but I also have IP addresses on the slave interfaces, maybe this is the source of the problem ? I have IPs on the slaves because mutlichannel SMB doesn't use a bond, but is supposed to use multiple interfaces, however the NFS should benefit from the bond when multiple hosts are writing, so I sort of wanted both.
I can't see 192.168.1.50 in the ARP table on the Mikrotik at all by the way, which is odd isn't it ?
Anyway, here are some screenshots. Any ideas what's going on?
