From the IPv4 drop-down menu, select Use values from a DHCP server or Use values
below:
• Use values from a DHCP server
In most networks where a DHCP server is enabled, you can specify the Use values
from a DHCP server option to automatically set the IP address and network mask. If
you elect to assign the IP address using Use values from a DHCP server, NETGEAR
advises that you set the lease time on the DHCP server or router to a value of at least
1 day. Otherwise, you might notice that the IP address of the unit changes even when
it has been turned off for only a few minutes. Most DHCP servers allow you to map a
static IP address to a MAC address. If you have this option, this ensures that your
ReadyNAS maintains the same IP address, even in DHCP mode.
• Use values below
If you assign a static IP address by selecting Use values below, be aware that the
browser will lose connection to the ReadyNAS device after the IP address has been
changed. To reconnect after assigning a static IP address, open the RAIDar utility,
click Rescan to locate the device, and then reconnect.
Also note that you must take care to correctly enter the IP address. If you enter an
incorrect IP address, you cannot connect to your ReadyNAS system. To recover from
an incorrectly entered IP address, you must perform an OS reinstall reboot. For more
information, see the appropriate hardware manual for your system:
• ReadyNAS Ultra, Ultra Plus and Pro Series Hardware Manual
• ReadyNAS Rack-Mount Hardware Manual
These manuals are available at http://readynas.com/documentation.
From the IPv6 drop-down menu, select Use values from a DHCP server or Use values
below:
• Configure Automatically
In most networks where a DHCP server is enabled, you can specify the Configure
Automatically option to automatically set the IP address and network mask. If you
elect to assign the IP address automatically, values are obtained from a DHCP server.
In this case, NETGEAR advises that you set the lease time on the DHCP server or
router to a value of at least 1 day. Otherwise, you might notice that the IP address of
the unit changes even when it has been turned off for only a few minutes. Most DHCP
servers allow you to map a static IP address to a MAC address. If you have this
option, this ensures that your ReadyNAS maintains the same IP address, even in
DHCP mode.
• Use values below
If you assign a static IP address by selecting Use values below, be aware that the
browser will lose connection to the ReadyNAS device after the IP address has been
changed. To reconnect after assigning a static IP address, open the RAIDar utility,
click Rescan to locate the device, and then reconnect.
