disabled. If the NAS supports two Gigabit LAN ports and only one network interface is
configured to enable VLAN, you can also connect to the NAS via the other network interface.
Note: The VLAN feature is only supported by x86-based NAS models.
DHCP Server
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server assigns IP addresses to clients on a
network. Select "Enable DHCP Server" to set the NAS a DHCP server if there are none on the
local network where the NAS is located.
Note:
 Do not enable DHCP server if there is one on the local network to avoid IP address
conflicts or network access errors.
 The DHCP server option is only available to Ethernet 1 when both LAN ports of a dual
LAN NAS are connected to the network and configured as standalone IP settings.
 Start IP, End IP, Lease Time: Set the range of IP addresses allocated by the NAS to
the DHCP clients and the lease time. The lease time refers to the time that an IP address
is leased to the clients. During that time, the IP will be reserved to the assigned client.
When the lease time expires, the IP can be assigned to another client.
 WINS Server (optional): WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) resolves Windows
network computer names (NetBIOS names) to IP addresses, allowing Windows
computers on a network to easily find and communicate with each other. Enter the IP
address of the WINS server on the network if available.
 DNS Suffix (optional): The DNS suffix is used for resolution of unqualified/incomplete
host names.
 TFTP Server & Boot File (optional): The NAS supports PXE booting of network devices.
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and the boot file (including directory on the TFTP
server and file name.) For remote booting of devices, enter the public IP address of the
TFTP server.
(ii) DNS Server
A DNS (Domain Name Service) server translates between a domain name (such as
google.com) and an IP address (74.125.31.105.) Configure the NAS to obtain a DNS server
address automatically or to specify the IP address of a DNS server.
 Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
 Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server.
