Two Networks: Bridge the data on your LaCie 5big NAS Pro
Connect the LaCie 5big NAS Pro to two separate networks to share access to data.
1. Connect LAN 1 to the first network switch and LAN 2 to the second network switch.
2. Go to Dashboard > Network and choose the Connections tab.
3. If one or both LANs are not active, click on the configuration icon to select Enable.
4. Once the LAN is enabled, it can receive a DHCP address from the router. Each LAN should have separate
addresses to reflect connection to two separate networks. In the screenshot below, the subnets of the IP
addresses (5 for LAN 1 and 1 for LAN 2) demonstrate that each LAN is connected to its own network.
