If the user tries to save an invalid configuration, the miSAN-V-Series will display
an error message. Return to the “Network Configuration” menu so that the conflict
can be corrected or the changes cancelled.
Two or more interfaces may be “bonded” together to transfer data as a single
Ethernet interface “bondX”. This combines the available bandwidth for the multiple
interfaces into the “bondX” Ethernet interface. See Appendix C, “Glossary” for a
further explanation of bonding, including requirements.
To do this, set “eth0” and “eth1” to
Bonded, and then set the network parameters
for the “bondX” interface.
ethX IP bonding
This menu option sets the “bondX” interface that the Ethernet interface is part of.
Default value is
bond0.
ethX IP address
All network interfaces must be assigned static IP addresses. The miSAN-V-Series
does not support DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), since it is
intended that the network interface(s) will be up indefinitely, and lease renegotia-
tion might interrupt a backup operation in progress.
The default “IP address” for the first Ethernet interface is
192.168.1.1. Default “IP
addresses” for subsequent interfaces are
192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, etc. The
static IP address is set with this option.
ethX subnet mask
The default “subnet mask” is 255.255.255.0. Change the subnet mask in the
same manner as for the “IP address”.
ethX MTU
This sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size. Default value is 1500.
Choices are
1500 and 9000. The 9000 setting is for use only with Gigabit Ethernet
networks that are “jumbo” packet capable (See Appendix C, “Glossary”).
Note
This menu item only appears if the Ethernet interface is set to “Bonded”.
Note
This menu item only appears if the Ethernet interface supports “jumbo”
packets. Otherwise, this item is hidden, and the MTU is set to 1500 by
default.
