Chapter 8 Network Table 31 Network > TCP/IP (continued) LABEL IPv6 Settings DESCRIPTION Click this to configure the following IPv6 settings. Mode - • Select Auto to have the Device use the IPv6 prefix from the connected router's Router Advertisement (RA) to generate an IPv6 address. • Select Static if you have a fixed IPv6 address assigned by your ISP. • Select Disable to not assign any IPv6 address for the NSA. Address - Enter the IPv6 address assigned by your ISP. Subnet prefix length - Enter the address prefix length to specify how many most significant bits in an IPv6 address compose the network address. The range is 0 to 128 Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same segment as your Device's interface(s). The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations. DNS DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. If you have the IP address(es) of the DNS server(s), enter them. Dynamic Select the option to have the NSA get a DNS server address automatically. Static Select this option to choose a static DNS server address. Type the DNS server IP address(es) into the fields below. Primary DNS Server Type a primary DNS server IP address. Secondary DNS Server Type a secondary DNS server IP address. HTTP (Web Configurator) Enable Another Web Select this to configure an additional HTTP port for accessing the web configurator. Configuration Port Specify a number in the Port Number field. Jumbo Frames Jumbo frames improve network performance. You must have a 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) network that supports jumbo frames. Select the largest size of frame that all of your network devices (including computer Ethernet cards and switches, hubs, or routers) support. When enabled, you can choose between 4 KB, 8 KB, and 9 KB frame sizes. Network Diagnostic Tool Apply Reset Note: If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that does not support them, you will lose access to the NSA. If this occurs, you will have to restore the factory default configuration. Push the RESET button on the NSA's rear panel and release it after you hear a beep. Use this section to test the network connection to a particular IP address or domain name. Select an address or type it into the field. Then click Ping to have the NSA send a packet to test the network connection. • Successfully pinged host - The NSA is able to "ping" the host, the network connection is OK. • Unable to ping host - The NSA is able to "ping" the selected host. Click this to save your TCP/IP configurations. After you click Apply, the NSA restarts. Wait until you see the Login screen or until the NSA fully boots and then use the NAS Starter Utility to rediscover it. Click this to restore your previously saved settings. 168 Media Server User's Guide
