STEP 1
Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide
The NSS supports ADS domains of up to 8,000 users for the NSS4000 and 16,000
users for the NSS6000. If you need to connect the NSS to a domain larger than this,
you might have problems making CIFS connections to the NSS.
-
System Volume Location: If you checked the Enable Support for Large
ADS Domains field, you must then select the RAID array on which to
store the system cache files associated with the ADS domain join. The
RAID array that you choose must have at least 512 MB of available
space. If you delete the RAID array on which the system volume is
located, leave the domain by switching to workgroup mode, and then
delete the RAID array.
Click Update.
If you configured the NSS to join a domain, when you click Update, the domain join
occurs. The NSS configuration interface displays the status of the domain join
(successful or not successful).
If you are joined to a domain and make changes to the fields on this page, make sure
that you re-enter the domain password as the NSS automatically rejoins the domain
when you click Update.
Within a network, DNS and WINS are used to translate hostnames into IP
addresses. For example, the hostname "myserver" might translate to 172. 1 . 1 35.6.
Configuring how the NSS works with name resolution depends on what type of
servers exist within your network. To configure the DNS or WINS server addresses
for your network:
From the Manager Menu, click Network DNS/WINS.
