Configuring Network Properties
Use the Network tab in the NAS Manager to configure the NAS system for the network. This section provides information for
setting up your NAS system on the network, including naming the system, defining the IP address, and configuring the NIC.
Naming the NAS System
By default, the NAS system uses your service tag number as the system name. To change the name of the NAS system,
perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Network.
3. Click Identification.
4. Type a new name for the NAS system in the Server appliance name field.
5. Click OK.
6. Click OK to reboot, or click Cancel.
Until you reboot the system, the new name will not take effect. Use the new name when you connect to the NAS
Manager.
Configuring the Network Address for the NAS System
If you have a DHCP server on your network, you do not need to configure your NAS system's IP address because DHCP
automatically assigns an address to the NAS system. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must set the
address for the NAS system through the NAS Manager.
NOTE:
To configure an IP address for another interface such as DNS, WINS, or AppleTalk, see your NAS Manager
online help.
NOTE:
Before you configure the IP address, make sure that the NAS system is connected to the network.
To configure the IP address, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Network, and then click Interfaces.
3. Select the radio button beside the network connection that you want to configure.
NOTE:
If some of the text is missing due to column width, pass your cursor over the text in the column to see a
pop-up window with a full description.
4. Click IP, and select Use the following IP settings.
5. Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
If you do not have this information, contact your system administrator.
6. Click OK.
