DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the NSA as
a DHCP client which means it is set to receive an IP address from a DHCP server. The NDU
can help you discover the IP address of the NSA.
Alternatively, configure a static IP address for the NSA.
Jumbo Frames
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames larger than 1500 bytes. They enable data transfer with less
overhead. The bigger the frame, the better the network performance.
Windows/CIFS
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating
systems in order to share files across the network.
CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft
Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web
browsers, to open and share files across the Internet.
NFS
NFS (Network File System) is a protocol most commonly used on Unix-like systems in order
to share files across the network.

Teaming Mode
Here are the teaming mode settings the NSA’s two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces can use.
Stand Alone
: LAN1 and LAN2 each use a unique IP address. These IP addresses are
independent of each other.
Figure 139
Stand Alone Teaming Mode
Fault Tolerance
: LAN2 serves as a backup (fail-over) for the LAN1. Both Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces are connected to the same subnet. There is one IP address. If LAN1 loses its
connection, LAN2 takes over LAN1’s IP address and traffic.
LAN1
LAN2
