NSS3000 Series Network Storage System Getting Started Guide 12

Configuring the NSS

This chapter describes the steps you need to follow to configure the NSS, and

includes the following topics:

•Configuring the Computer Network Settings

•Logging into the Configuration Interface

•Running the Quick Setup Wizards to Configure the NSS

•Saving the NSS Configuration

For a detailed description of the configuration options available, see the NSS3000

Series Network Storage System Administration Guide available on Cisco.com at

www.cisco.com/go/smallbiz, or refer to the online help on the NSS

configuration interface.

The NSS ships with its network interface configured for DCHP. This is the default

configuration. If a DCHP server is installed on your network, skip this step.

If there is no DHCP server on your network, you must manually configure the

computer network setting as follows:

STEP 1 Set the IP address and subnet mask to the following:

•IP Address 169.254.

(where

and

can be any number between 1 and

254). For example, 169.254.200.30. Make sure that you pick an address that

is different from the address of the NSS chassis.

•Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0.

STEP 2 Log into the NSS configuration interface. Configure the NSS network IP settings as

required.
