To separate the Bond interface into multiple LAN interfaces:
1 Click the Bond [number] interface on the left side.
2 Click Remove and then click OK.
Term Explanation
LAN cables to the network at the same time, or assign it with two IP addresses under different subnets. With
Link Aggregation enabled, trunking (combining network bandwidth of aggregated LAN interfaces for multiplied
connection speed) and network fault tolerances (maintaining network connection when any of the aggregated
LAN interfaces is unavailable) are supported.
Wireless Network
Click Wireless Network on the left side to connect Synology DiskStation to a wireless network.
1
Note: Wireless network is available only when a wireless dongle is plugged into the USB port of your Synology
DiskStation.
To set up a wireless network:
Click Set up a wireless network and choose from the following options (If you are already connected to a
wireless network, click Disconnect first).
Join a wireless network: The wizard will scan available wireless access points or Ad-Hoc networks with their
signal strength and security status. If the access point you want to access is locked with password protection,
the wizard will ask you to enter the password.
Connect to a hidden wireless network: If an access point doesn't broadcast its SSID (Network Name) for
privacy reason, it will not be discovered during the scanning. You can manually connect to those hidden
access points by entering the required information manually.
Create an Ad-Hoc Network: In addition to infrastructure network, in which a central access point (AP) bridges
the wireless network to a wired Ethernet network, Ad-Hoc network is also widely used. In an Ad-Hoc network,
all wireless devices within range of each other can communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion without a central
access point. To set up an Ad-Hoc network, all wireless devices have to be configured for Ad-Hoc mode
instead of the infrastructure mode.
Note: For a list of compatible wireless dongles, visit www.synology.com.
IPv6 Setup
When you are configuring the LAN or Wireless Network interface, click the IPv6 Setup button to change the
IPv6 settings.
Synology DiskStation supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack scheme. This means that both IPv4 and IPv6 can work
simultaneously on Synology DiskStation. The default setting for IPv6 is Auto.
2
On the IPv6 Setup page, choose between the different setup types:
Auto: DiskStation will automatically generate a local IPv6 address. This is generated based on DiskStation's
MAC address.
DHCP: DiskStation will automatically get an IPv6 address from the DHCP server which supports IPv6.
Manual: Set up IPv6 manually by entering IPv6 address, Prefix length, and Default gateway.
Off: Disable IPv6 support.
Note: If you want to join an IPv4 network environment with IPv6 address, you need to enable IPv6 Tunnel. See the
section below for more information.
---------
1
Wireless network is supported on specific models only.
2
IPv6 service is only supported on 08-series models or later (excluding 108j, 109j).
