Managing Your Storage System - 73
You can change these settings at any time.
You can also configure the storage system to act as a DHCP server. In other words, the storage system
can assign IP addresses to other computers in your network, simplifying the network configuration of each
individual system.
In addition, your storage system can act as an FTP server. This allows all Windows or Mac OS X users to
use a Web browser to access the
public
folder. They can also access their personal folder that was
created automatically when their user name was added to the storage system (as described in
“Adding
Users”
on page 31). For more information, refer to
“Accessing the Storage System through FTP and SSH”
on page 85.
To change any of the network settings:
1. In the navigation bar, click
Advanced
.
2. In the left pane, click
Network
.
3. Make the desired changes:
Note:
Changing the IP address or subnet mask can have several effects:
•
Access to the Web User Interface will be temporarily disrupted. If you access the Web User Inter-
face using the Storage System Console or using the IP address of the storage system, you will
need to access it again using the new IP address. In addition, if previously you added the IP
address of the storage system to a local
hosts
file or DNS server, you must update the IP address
in those resources.
•
Users who accessed the shared folders using the previous IP address will be disconnected and
must access them again using the new IP address (as described in
“Accessing Shared Folders”
on
page 37).
•
Users who backed up their disks to the storage system using the previous IP address must remove
protection for all affected disks (as described in
“Removing Protection”
on page 122) and protect
their disks again (as described in
“Protecting Your Disks”
on page 98), removing the storage system
from the list of backup locations and adding it again using the new IP address.
Users who backed up their disks to the storage system using the storage system name do not need
to remove protection from their disks or remove the storage system from the list of backup loca-
tions. However, they must start DiskSafe Express so that it can retrieve the new IP address.
To change this
Do this
The workgroup to which the
storage system belongs
In
Workgroup name
, enter the name of the workgroup.
This name can be up to 15 characters long.
The IP address used by the
storage system
In the
Port 1
group box, either select
Get an IP address automatically
to
obtain the IP address from your DHCP server, or select
Use this IP address
and enter the IP address and subnet mask in the subsequent text boxes.
If you select
Get an IP address automatically
and your network does not have
a DHCP server, or if the storage system is directly attached to your computer,
the default IP address and subnet mask are used. (The default IP address is
192.168.0.101, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0).
