Configuring the Network Storage System (NSS)

There are a variety of ways to configure the NSS, depending on your specific storage needs and your unique networking environment. This section covers the steps you need to follow to get the NSS configured so that you can start using its storage. For a more detailed description of the configuration options available, refer to the topics in the pdf version of the Administrator Guide available from the Cisco website (www.cisco.com/go/smallbiz) or from the Online Help available from the Help menu on the NSS configuration interface. You can display page- specific help by clicking the Help button (question mark) in the upper-right corner of any configuration page.

Go through the steps in this section (in the recommended order) to configure the NSS.

•Step 1 — Access the NSS when there is no DHCP Server Present on your Network: If a DHCP server is not present when you install the NSS, follow the details in this step to manually configure the network settings so that you can access the Configuration Interface. (If a DHCP server is installed, skip this step.)

•Step 2 — Log into the NSS Configuration Interface: Log into the Configuration Interface as an administrator.
