VLAN Settings
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a network of devices that are joined into one broadcast domain, even if the devices are not physically connected to each other. VLANs are useful for creating smaller networks within a larger LAN; for example, a legal department in a company might be on its own VLAN because it has sensitive documents that only certain personnel should have access to. The smaller networks that VLANs create do not require any additional physical resources, such as additional cabling. Your
VLAN is configured for each NIC, but it is not supported on bonded NICs. If a NIC is bonded, you must unbind it first to configure it for a VLAN.
Adding a VLAN
1.To add a VLAN, expand the VLAN Settings section of a NIC.

Groups consist of one or more users, and administrators can grant each group rights to Shares on the ix4- 300d Network Storage. Users can belong to more than one group. The Groups page enables administrators to create one or more groups, and grant each group rights to Shares on the
Refer to the Security page to enable security permissions and create an administrator account, if you have not done so already.
By default, there are no groups defined. Once an administrator defines one or more groups, the Groups functionality is dynamically available when creating, modifying, and viewing users, Shares, and groups.
How Access Rights Are Granted Using Groups in Workgroup Mode
When groups are defined in Workgroup mode, a user's access rights are the most rights granted to the user and all groups to which the user belongs. For example, assume 3 Shares exist (SF1, SF2, and SF3), two users (UserA and UserB), and three groups (Group1, Group2, Group3). When created, UserA was not granted access rights to any Share, and UserB was granted Read rights to SF3. Group1 has Read/Write rights to SF1, Group2 has Read/Write rights to SF2, and Group3 has Read/Write rights to SF3. If UserA is added to Group1, UserB is added to Group2, and Group1 is added to Group3, the table below shows the resulting access rights for each user and group defined:

Troubleshooting Routers

If you have properly set port forwarding on your router and remote access still does not work, you may have multiple routers on your network. In this situation, you will most likely have two NAT (Network Address Translation) firewalls.
1.One of the easiest ways to identify this issue is to log in to the router to which the
2.Once you have logged in, go to the page that shows the router's WAN IP address, usually Status or Network Info.
3.If the WAN IP address begins with 192.168, 10, or 172, you may have a NAT Firewall between the router and internet connection.
There are several options for resolving double NAT situations. The sections below explore the pros and cons of each resolution:
These instructions will refer to the router that is connected directly to the internet as the Primary Router. The cascaded router or router to which your
???Use the primary router's DMZ
???Port forward the primary router to the secondary router
???Put the secondary router in bridging mode
???Put the primary router in bridging mode
Enabling the DMZ
Most routers have a feature called DMZ or Default Server. DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone, Data Management Zone, Demarcation Done, or Perimeter Network. The DMZ allows you to enter an IP address that will exist outside the router's NAT Firewall.
This is the easiest way to configure your network to handle double NAT situations; however, it is dependent upon DMZ functionality within your primary router.
To enable the DMZ:
1.Log in to the primary router.
2.Navigate to the settings page for DMZ or Default Server. Refer to the documentation that came with your router for information on where this feature is found.
3.Enter the secondary router's IP address.
4.Save your settings.
Your secondary router is no longer behind your primary router's firewall. If port forwarding is correctly configured, remote access should now be working properly. Moving your secondary router into the DMZ should not have any effect on the security of the network, since it is still protected by the secondary router's firewall.
124 Troubleshooting Routers
Hardware Management
Configuring Port Forwarding on Double NAT Networks
If for some reason the network configuration cannot be changed and your setup requires the double NAT, you must perform the port forwarding steps twice. On the primary router, set the port forwarding to the cascaded router's external IP address. On the cascaded router, set the port forwarding to the
Bridging the Secondary Router
Make sure that the primary router (usually the one connected to or acting as the DSL/Cable modem) is the only one with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and NAT (Network Address Translation) enabled. The secondary should be changed to bridging mode. Ensure that the secondary router connects to the primary router using a standard port rather than the port labeled Uplink or internet. This turns your secondary router into a switch; however, you can still enable its Wireless Access Point if so equipped.
Refer to the documentation that came with your router for configuration information and settings.
Bridging the Primary Router
If none of the above options are available, you must enable transparent bridging on your primary router. This may require contacting your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to configure the DSL or Cable Modem/NAT into bridge mode, which then disables the first NAT/Firewall. After this first firewall in the modem is disabled, the secondary router handles all the network traffic, Port Forwarding, and allows Remote Access to work.
You should not attempt bridging without help from the ISP. If bridge mode is attempted by the customer and not configured properly, it can render the customer's internet connection inoperable. Primary router bridging may also require special configuration information and settings on the secondary router.
If you configured your
To resolve this problem, try one of the following processes:
???Increase the length of the DHCP lease: Your router attempts to remember all DHCP clients and assigns them the same IP address every time they request an IP address; however, the router forgets clients if they do not request an IP address for a certain amount of time. Your router has a setting for the duration of the validity of the DHCP lease. If your network requires DHCP, this may be a good solution; however, it is not always guaranteed to work. Occasionally updating your router's port forwarding settings may be required.
???Use Static DHCP: Some routers allow you to assign Static IP addresses through the DHCP system based on the MAC address of the device. This ensures that the
???Use a Manual IP Address: Changing the Manual IP address reduces the reliance of your
