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.
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.
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.
The network address setup is complete.
Creating Users
A user is a person or group that has access to the shares on the NAS system. You create users after you configure the network properties of your NAS system.
Creating a Single Local User
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Users.
3. Click Local Users.
4. On the Local Users on Server Appliance page, click New.
5. Complete the information on the Create New User page.
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 on a network adapter, ensure that the NAS system is connected to the network through that adapter.
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.
NOTE: When you change the IP address, you may be unable to access the NAS Manager until you reboot the NAS system, or for approximately 15
minutes until the network recognizes the new IP address. You can also try to access the NAS system by typing https://new_ip_address:1279 in
the NAS Manager, where new_ip_address is the new address that you just set.
NOTE: In a domain environment, you cannot create domain users.
