you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Network Storage System (NSS). Administering a network can be a difficult job. Finding low-cost ways to simplify your data-management tasks means that you have more resources to dedicate elsewhere. The NSS is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit that appears - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 10
on the NSS configuration interface window that you can click to access help: • From the Manager Menu click Help to display the full online Administrator Guide.

If you are purchasing disk drives to install in the NSS, refer to the product support information offered on the Cisco website (www.cisco.com) for a list of recommended disk drives. When you select a disk drive, consider the type of RAID levels required to service your business needs. For example - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 14
, you can view system alert messages such as if a disk drive is failing or has failed, if a volume is approaching its full capacity, and if an array rebuild is complete. You can also view the current status of any of the following: storage, shares, backups, network, power, and system details. Status - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 15
System Status page: • Error: These types of messages indicate the most severe types of problems with the NSS. They require immediate action. For example, if a disk drive or RAID array is in a failed amount of the configured capacity used. Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide 7 - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 16

Changing a VLAN Configuration After you set up a VLAN to access the NSS, you can change its configuration - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 33
You can delete the connection between a VLAN and the NSS. Note that deleting the VLAN only affects the VLAN's ability to access the NSS. It does not impact the VLANs operation within your network. To disconnect a VLAN's access to the NSS: Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide 25 - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 34

Identification page is where you configure the network identity of the NSS, including the hostname and domain membership. NOTE Before you join the NSS to an NTv4 or Active Directory Service (ADS) domain, do the following: - Configure the IP and DNS information. - Set up your user and group ID ranges - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 36
not configured to supply a hostname, the NSS hostname is assigned NSS as you want it to appear in the file manager window for your users. STEP 5 Select the type of network into which you are making the NSS a member from the following options: Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 37
is cleared each time you click Update. You must re-enter the password each time you edit the fields on this page to ensure the rejoin of the domain is successful. • Member of Active Directory domain: Make the NSS part of an Active Directory (ADS) domain. If you select this option, set up the - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 38
page, make sure you re-enter the domain password as the NSS automatically rejoins the domain when you click Update. Configuring DNS or WINS for Name Resolution Within a network, DNS and WINS are used to translate hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the hostname "myserver" might translate to - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 39
for the WINS server using the DHCP server. If the DHCP server cannot be found or times out, the DNS server IP address is assigned the IP address manually entered in the Primary or Alternate WINS Server fields. STEP 3 Click Update.

on which any particular service runs. When you disable WAN access for a given service, only hosts on the same subnet as the NSS may connect to that service. This is in essence a shortcut to manually defining an equivalent network filter.

of Service) levels for devices on a network. This is achieved by adding four bytes to the Ethernet frame header of a data packet (three bits of which assign up to eight priority or QoS levels and 12 bits identify up to 4096 VLANs).

In a JBOD configured array, each drive can be a different size or capacity (this storage method - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 175
prediction based on known factors. Manufacturers provide MTBF as a reference of the product's, or its subcomponent's reliability. Customers can use the MTBF to determine their service needs to maintain or replace the product.

Currently, the NSS offers the choice of five different RAID levels (including JBOD) with two options for adding a hot spare to an existing RAID level.

system. A SAN lets computers connect to hard disk drives and tape drives on a network as though they were locally attached devices. A SAN can contain a single NAS device or numerous NAS is NOT supported by the NSS. (It does support FTPS.)

of hard disk drives. The NSS uses the advanced diagnostics within the S.M.A.R.T. system to monitor the internal operations of a drive. It can then send an early warning for about 70% of all hard drive errors, such as disk performance, faulty sectors, recalibration, CRC errors, drive spin-up time - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 180
developed by Netscape and is now an industry standard. The NSS supports FTPS which is FTP over SSL. Striping: A method of concatenating multiple disk drives into one logical storage unit. Striping involves partitioning each drive's storage space into stripes which may be as small as one sector - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 181

of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources. The Cisco NSS refers to virtualization as a way of aggregating storage between devices. Virtualized storage occurs when storage is exported to the network as a disk drive or an array and is then imported - Linksys NSS2000 | Cisco NSS2000 Series Network Storage System Administration Gui - Page 183
can also manually assign an IP address and alternate host name to a device, as required. Once assigned, Zeroconf lets users and applications readily discover the service it offers. Apple's Bonjour is the major implementation of Zeroconf.
