Network
Ethernet
The Ethernet tab allows you to specify network interface-specific settings.
In the
Standard Setting
box, you can specify the IP address, network mask, speed/duplex mode,
and MTU settings. In most networks where a DHCP server is enabled, you can simply specify the
“Use values from a DHCP server” option to automatically set the IP address and network mask.
If you assign a static IP address, be aware that the browser will lose connection to the ReadyNAS
device after the IP address has been changed. You can click Rescan in RAIDar to locate the device
and reconnect from there.
Note
If you elect to assign the IP address using DHCP, it is advisable to set the
lease time on the DHCP server/router to a value of at least a day.
Otherwise, you may notice that the ReadyNAS IP address may change even
when it has been powered down for only a few minutes. Most DHCP
servers allow you to assign a static IP address for specified MAC addresses.
If you have this option, this would be a good way to ensure your
ReadyNAS maintains the same IP address even in DHCP mode.
