Went to add a static route to another segment of my network, and
couldn't find a way to do it while keeping the dhcp setup.  In order
to add a persistent route, I had to drop to the command line and
run networksetup(8) with the proper incantation.  Now I can ping
my file server.

Next, I tried to add a time machine backup destination, but there's
no way to add one by IP address from the gui.  Was going to try
to set one up with tmutil(8), but realized I should instead set
up an MDNS reflector on the router.  After that, the Mac Studio saw
the file server in the time machine tool, and everything followed from
that.

The file server runs Linux:

Linux DT 3.10.108 #42962 SMP Mon Aug 19 15:14:28 CST 2024
armv7l GNU/Linux synology_alpine_ds2015xs

-- 
-v System76 Thelio Mega v1.1 x86_64 NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti
   OS: Linux 6.12.4 Release: Mint 21.3 Mem: 258G
