USER MANUAL

IPv4 Network Mode

By default, the network mode is set to DHCP, which means

the WD My Cloud Mirror device automatically gets the IP address
and other settings from your network.
Select the method of assigning the device’s unique IPv4 address:

Static: Static IP lets you set an IP address manually. You will be

prompted for IP Address, Subnet mask, Gateway IP address,
and DNS Server. (If you don’t know this information, please
check your router settings.)

DHCP: DHCP Client causes the WD My Cloud Mirror device to

obtain an IP address and associated settings automatically from
the local DHCP server.

Note:

When configuring Static or DHCP, record your Subnet mask, Gateway IP

address, and DNS Server in a safe location for future reference. This
information will not be displayed once it is entered into the WD My Cloud
Mirror server.
