There are two typical configurations for the NAS module non-file serving interface:
- Single network for both management and file-serving functionality
- Separate networks for management and file-serving functionality
All NAS module configurations use the embedded SMU.
Single network for both management and file-serving functionality
In this configuration, the NAS module is connected to a single LAN and both the file-serving interfaces and the non-file serving interface connect to this network.
Separate networks for management and file-serving functionality
In this configuration, the non-file serving interface on the NAS module is connected to the management network and the file-serving interfaces are connected to a data network.
