Network Settings

Access the Network Settings page by navigating to the Settings tab and clicking Network Services → Network Settings.

Network Settings displays your current network settings and enables those settings to be modified. The network settings identify your DNS servers and WINS servers and how your system's IP address is determined. In most cases it is recommended that you leave the

Automatically configure all network settings checked. Most system IP addresses and other network settings can normally be configured automatically. If you are unsure, it is best to leave this checked.

http://www.iomega.com/support/manuals/ix-series/221-0809/en/consolidated/printall.h... 25-7-2010

Page 24 of 137

If a DHCP server is unavailable, the device could auto-assign an IP address or you can manually configure the network settings. If you are comfortable with network technology, uncheck Automatically configure all network settings, which clears all checkboxes. When the checkbox is empty, the text boxes below are enabled.

If you only want to configure your DNS Servers and WINS Servers, you can uncheck

Automatically configure all network settings and check Automatically configure IP Address.

If you choose to manually configure your network settings, supply the following information:

DNS Servers—the IP addresses of the DNS (Domain Name System) servers.

DNS is used for translating the domain name to IP addresses.

WINS Servers—the IP addresses of the WINS server.

IP Address—the static IP address of the Iomega StorCenter device.

An unused IP address from within the range used by the LAN should be used.

Subnet Mask—the subnet that the IP address belongs to.

The default value is 255.255.255.0.

Gateway—the gateway IP address needs to be entered in this field.

Check Enable jumbo frame support to enable jumbo frame support. Jumbo frame support is useful for transferring large files, such as multimedia files, over a network. Jumbo frame support increases transfer speed by placing large files in fewer data packets. It also reduces the demand on the device hardware by having the CPU process more data in fewer data packets.

Jumbo frame support should only be enabled if you are sure your network is jumbo-frame compatible and all network devices have been configured to support jumbo frames. It is recommended that you confirm all network interface cards (NICs) are configured to support jumbo frames before enabling this feature.

Click Apply to save your changes.

NOTE: If you change the network settings, the device restarts and you have to log back in.

NFS (UNIX/Linux File Sharing)

NFS (Network File System) allows remote hosts to mount file systems over a network and interact with them as though they were mounted locally. NFS provides another protocol for sharing storage data with Linux hosts. To enable NFS, navigate to the Settings tab, click Network Services → NFS, and check the Enable NFS checkbox.

If you are logged in as the root user on a client machine accessing the Iomega StorCenter device through NFS, you can mount a secured share and access the files on it by checking the Allow root account access checkbox.

When NFS is enabled, you can configure rules for host-based access to folders.

Rules can be added to specify the hosts that are allowed to access folders using NFS. This page allow you to configure NFS rules to specify access for hosts. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a folder to all hosts on an IP address or subnetwork simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair as address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-decimal format, or as a contiguous mask length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical subnetworks.

NOTE: NFS cannot be enabled when an Active Directory server is in use.
