ReadyNAS OS 6.4 The bonded Ethernet interfaces are separated into individual links. 6. Reconfigure the switch or router to which the ReadyNAS is attached for single interfaces. Configure Static Routes You can add and remove static routes. Static routes are not frequently used with ReadyNAS, but a few situations call for them. For example, if no automatically routed path to a device exists that the ReadyNAS must access, you can define a static path to it. Before configuring a static route, you must configure the ReadyNAS adapter, its Ethernet address, and subnet mask, and you need to know the address on the private network the ReadyNAS is on for the gateway between that network and the private network the destination is on. You must also know the target IP address and the subnet mask for the target's network. As a sample configuration, your ReadyNAS uses separate network connections to connect to the Internet and to a private network, and the default gateway is configured to connect to the Internet. The ReadyNAS can connect to anything on the private network and on the Internet, but if another private network is connected to the private network, the ReadyNAS cannot automatically find devices on the second private network. For example, one network interface on the ReadyNAS might use the address 10.1.0.1 to connect to a private network with addresses in the range 10.1.xxx.xxx. The 10.1 network connects to a private network with a server with the address 192.168.1.0 and with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. No automatic route exists from the ReadyNAS to the server, but you can specify a static route. For this example, the address 10.1.0.2 is the address of the gateway between the two private networks. To configure a static route: 1. Log in to your ReadyNAS admin page. 2. Select Network > Routes. 3. Click the + button. The New Route page opens. 4. Enter the destination IP address in the IP Address field. In the sample configuration, the destination IP address is the address of the server, 192.168.1.0. 5. Enter the subnet mask for the destination network in the Subnet Mask field. System Settings 165

Configure Static Routes
You can add and remove static routes. Static routes are not frequently used with ReadyNAS, but a few situations
call for them. For example, if no automatically routed path to a device exists that the ReadyNAS must access, you
can define a static path to it.
Before configuring a static route, you must configure the ReadyNAS adapter, its Ethernet address, and subnet mask,
and you need to know the address on the private network the ReadyNAS is on for the gateway between that network
and the private network the destination is on.You must also know the target IP address and the subnet mask for
the target's network.
As a sample configuration, your ReadyNAS uses separate network connections to connect to the Internet and to a
private network, and the default gateway is configured to connect to the Internet. The ReadyNAS can connect to
anything on the private network and on the Internet, but if another private network is connected to the private network,
the ReadyNAS cannot automatically find devices on the second private network. For example, one network interface
on the ReadyNAS might use the address 10.1.0.1 to connect to a private network with addresses in the range
10.1.xxx.xxx. The 10.1 network connects to a private network with a server with the address 192.168.1.0 and with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0. No automatic route exists from the ReadyNAS to the server, but you can specify a
static route. For this example, the address 10.1.0.2 is the address of the gateway between the two private networks.
To configure a static route:
1.
Log in to your ReadyNAS admin page.
2.
Select
Network > Routes
.
3.
Click the
+
button.
The New Route page opens.
4.
Enter the destination IP address in the
IP Address
field.
In the sample configuration, the destination IP address is the address of the server, 192.168.1.0.
5.
Enter the subnet mask for the destination network in the
Subnet Mask
field.
