In most environments, your ReadyNAS storage system's default network settings allow you
to connect and communicate with your ReadyNAS storage system over your local area
network and the Internet. However, you can adjust these settings to accommodate your
needs.
To configure Ethernet settings:
1.
Select Configure, scroll down to the Network section and click the Ethernet configure
icon.
The Ethernet Settings dialog box displays.
2.
(Optional) Select an iPv4 assignment method:
•
Obtain an IPv4 address automatically. In most networks, a DHCP server is
enabled, so you can select this option to automatically set the IP address and network
mask.
If you select the Obtain an IPv4 address automatically check box, NETGEAR
recommends that you set the lease time on the DHCP server or router to a value of at
least one day. Otherwise, you might notice that the IP address of the system changes
even after being 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, enabling it ensures
that your ReadyNAS system maintains the same IP address, even in DHCP mode.
•
Use the following IPv4 address. Take care to enter the IP address correctly. 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 ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 Hardware
Manual.
If you select the Use the following IPv4 address check box, the IPv4 Address,
Subnet Mask, and Default gateway fields become active. You must provide the
following information when you choose to enter an IP address manually:
ReadyNAS for Home RAIDiator 5.3
