Customizing Your Seagate® NAS Customizing Network Settings If you choose to use Static network mode, the Seagate NAS always uses the same IP address. With Static network mode, the following settings must also be configured: • IP address: The IP address for your Seagate NAS. • Netmask: The netmask for the IP address you entered. • Default Gateway: The IP address of your gateway or router. Enabling DNS Server A DNS server runs special-purpose networking software, features a public IP address, and contains a database of network names and addresses for other Internet hosts. You can choose to enable a DSN server automatically or manually. In NAS Manager, go to Network > LAN/IP Address to make changes. Setting an MTU Size The maximum transfer unit (MTU) specifies the maximum transmission size of an interface. By default, your Seagate NAS has a default of 1500 bytes. In NAS Manager, go to Network > LAN/IP Address to make changes. Configuring IP Filters Internet Protocol (IP) filters give you control over who can access your Seagate NAS. When you create an IP Filter, you enter the IP address and then select an access setting (Allow or Deny). Configuring Web Services Web Services include Web Access, FTP Services, UPnP Port Forwarding and NFS Service. The following is a brief description of these services: • Web Access: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the most common way that data files are accessed on the Internet. You can set your Seagate NAS to use HTTP or HTTPS (HTTP over Secure Socket Layer (SSL)). HTTPS requires that you have set SSL on the NAS. For more information, see "Add an SSL Certificate and Key to the Server" on page 25. • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common way to send and receive files over the Internet. The Seagate NAS allows users to transfer files to and from the NAS using FTP, either anonymously or with administrator-assigned access and credentials. You can add a level of security when transferring data using FTP by enabling the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. For more information, see "Add an SSL Certificate and Key to the Server" on page 25. • If your router supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), you can set up UPnP port forwarding. UPnP makes it easier to integrate devices into your Seagate NAS network. Seagate Business Storage NAS Administrator Guide 23

Enabling DNS Server
A DNS server runs special-purpose networking software, features a public IP address, and
contains a database of network names and addresses for other Internet hosts. You can
choose to enable a DSN server automatically or manually. In NAS Manager, go to
Network >
LAN/IP Address
to make changes.
Setting an MTU Size
The maximum transfer unit (MTU) specifies the maximum transmission size of an interface.
By default, your Seagate NAS has a default of 1500 bytes. In NAS Manager, go to
Network >
LAN/IP Address
to make changes.
Configuring IP Filters
Internet Protocol (IP) filters give you control over who can access your Seagate NAS. When
you create an IP Filter, you enter the IP address and then select an access setting (Allow or
Deny).
Configuring Web Services
Web Services include Web Access, FTP Services, UPnP Port Forwarding and NFS Service.
The following is a brief description of these services:
•
Web Access: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the most common way that data files
are accessed on the Internet. You can set your Seagate NAS to use HTTP or HTTPS
(HTTP over Secure Socket Layer (SSL)). HTTPS requires that you have set SSL on the
NAS. For more information, see “Add an SSL Certificate and Key to the Server” on
