10.6 Central Management System Centrally and simultaneously manage multiple Synology NAS by designating a NAS as a host server and other NAS as managed servers. On the host server, IT admins responsible for the mass deployment of multiple NAS can apply policies (e.g., enable traffic control and firewall) to managed servers and run tasks (e.g., enable Wake on LAN) or customized scripts (e.g., create users or install packages) on these servers. This ensures that configurations across all servers are the same and simplifies management. On the unified dashboard, you can monitor the overall information (e.g., connection status and storage usage) of the managed servers, delegate administrator permissions to specific users or groups, install DSM versions and packages, perform updates on managed servers, and more.

10.6 Central Management System
Centrally and simultaneously manage multiple Synology NAS by designating a NAS as a
host server and other NAS as managed servers. On the host server, IT admins responsible
for the mass deployment of multiple NAS can apply policies (e.g., enable traffic control and
firewall) to managed servers and run tasks (e.g., enable Wake on LAN) or customized scripts
(e.g., create users or install packages) on these servers. This ensures that configurations across
all servers are the same and simplifies management.
On the unified dashboard, you can monitor the overall information (e.g., connection status
and storage usage) of the managed servers, delegate administrator permissions to specific
users or groups, install DSM versions and packages, perform updates on managed servers,
and more.
