individual nodes. The MTU values do not have
to be the same for all network types.

5.
To configure the Admin Network, select either Static or DHCP in the Admin Network
section of the page.
Note: To configure the Admin Network, you must enable the Admin Network on the Link
Configuration page.
6.
If you selected Static, follow these steps to configure the Admin Network:
a. Enter the static IPv4 address, using CIDR notation, for Management Port 1 on the
controller.
Management Port 1 is the left of the two 1-GbE RJ45 ports on the right end of the
controller.
b. Enter the gateway.
If your network does not have a gateway, re-enter the same static IPv4 address.
c. If you want to use jumbo frames, change the MTU field to a value suitable for jumbo
frames, such as 9000. Otherwise, keep the default value of 1500.
Attention: The MTU value of the network must
match the value configured on the switch port
the node is connected to. Otherwise, network
performance issues or packet loss might occur.
d. Click Save.
When you change the IP address, the gateway and list of subnets might also change.
If you lose your connection to the StorageGRID Appliance Installer, re-enter the URL
using the new static IP address you just assigned. For example,
