LAN2 Configuration
The Thecus IP storage supports two Gigabit Ethernet ports for higher service
availability. To configure these ports, choose LAN2 from the System Network
menu, and the LAN2 Configuration screen appears. Press Apply to save your
changes.
NOTE
• Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment
where all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting enabled.
• If you are only using the WAN/LAN1 port, we suggest that you disable IP
Sharing Mode. This will result in higher throughput.
• A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP and NTP.
• To use the Link Aggregation with “802.3ad selected” feature, please make sure
the networking equipment on the other end of Ethernet cable also supports
802.3ad protocol.
WARNING
Most Fast Ethernet (10/100) Switches/Routers do not support Jumbo Frame and you will not
be able to connect to your N12000/N16000 after Jumbo Frame is turned on.
