Enable DHCP on bond0 interface
To configure a
bond0
interface using DHCP, you need to enable DHCP on that interface. The
bond0
interface inherits
the IP address that was dynamically assigned to the
eth0
interface when the DSM was initially deployed.
Log on to the CLI console and navigate to the Network category of commands and enable DHCP.
Example
0004:network$ ip dhcp enable bond0 version 4
WARNING: Changing network ip address may disconnect your session and will require the server
software to be restarted.
Continue? (yes|no)[no]:yes
DHCP operations may take some time, please wait....
SUCCESS: Please restart server software to pick up the changes.

Configure NTP, time zone, date, time
You must have the correct time set on your DSM server(s) as this will affect system functions such as agent
registration, log timestamps, high availability cluster synchronization, and certificate exchange. Although configuring
an NTP server is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended.
