Managing Your Storage System - 74

The IP address of the gateway

If your network includes a gateway, and if the storage system uses a specified

IP address rather than obtaining one from the DHCP server, enter the IP

address of the default router in Gateway IP address.

If your network does not include a gateway, leave these text boxes blank. (If the

storage system obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, the gateway will

obtain its IP address from the DHCP server as well.)

The DNS server to use

If your network includes a DNS server, and the storage system uses a specified

IP address rather than obtaining one from the DHCP server, enter the primary

IP address in Preferred DNS server and the secondary IP address in Alternate

DNS server.

If your network does not include a DNS server, or if the storage system obtains

its IP address from the DHCP server, leave these text boxes blank. (If the

stor-

age system obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, the DNS server IP

address is obtained from the DHCP server as well.)

The DHCP settings

If you need to use the storage system as a DHCP server, in the Port 1 group

box, select Use this IP address and enter the IP address and subnet mask in

the subsequent text boxes.

Then select Enable DHCP server, enter the beginning IP address in Starting IP

address, and enter the last IP address in Ending IP address.

For example, if the Starting IP address is 192.168.0.103 and the Ending IP

address is 192.168.0.107, the storage system will allocate the IP addresses

192.168.0.103, 192.168.0.104, 192.168.0.105, 192.168.0.106, and

192.168.0.107 to the first five computers that try to obtain their IP addresses

from the

storage system. As soon as one of those computers shuts down or oth-

erwise loses its network connection, that IP address will be assigned to the next

computer that tries to obtain its IP address from the storage system.

If you do not need to use the storage system as a DHCP server, clear the Ena-

ble DHCP server check box. (If Get an IP address automatically is selected,

you cannot use the

storage system as a DHCP server.)

The packet size for transferring

data

Specify whether or not to transfer larger data packets between the storage sys-

tem and the computers in your network by selecting or clearing Jumbo Frames.

If you clear Jumbo Frames, the storage system will use ordinary 1514-byte

packets.

If you select Jumbo Frames, you can specify a larger packet size (from 1514

up to 9014 bytes).

Note: Using Jumbo Frames allows you to transfer data more quickly. However,

you can select this option only if your network, Ethernet switch, and the network

interface cards (NICs) on the computers in your network support the specified

packet size. To determine whether you can use jumbo frames, refer to the docu

mentation for those components.
