The network settings include the VSP One File management software host name, domain name, IPv4 address, and optional IPv6 address.

The VSP One File management software supports both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time (dual-stack). IPv4 uses a 32-bit address and has an insufficient number of available addresses for global usage. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address that provides a much larger pool of addresses.

The network configuration settings are defined during the installation and initial set up of the VSP One File management software. You can change the settings at any time.

CAUTION:
When network configuration changes, communication to quorum devices is disrupted until the VSP One File management software restarts.
  1. Navigate to Configuration > Network.
  2. In the System Configuration section, enter the host name and the domain name for the VSP One File management software.
  3. In the IPv4 Configuration section, enter the following information:
    • In the IP Address box, enter an IPv4 IP address for the VSP One File management software.
    • In the Netmask box, enter a netmask for the IP address. The netmask can be entered in #.#.#.# format. For example, 255.255.255.0.
    • In the Gateway box, enter the gateway IP address for the VSP One File management software.
    • Current Addresses shows any current static, SLAAC, and link-local addresses.
  4. (Optional) In the IPv6 Configuration section, enter the following information:
    • Set the IP Addresses toggle switch to on to add an IPv6 address. You can use a static IP address or use stateless automatic configuration to provide the IP address.
      • In the Static IP Address - CIDR Format box, enter a static IP address in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format. You can enter an optional gateway in the Gateway box. If you leave the Gateway box blank, the VSP One File management software uses an advertised router as a gateway.
      • Select Use stateless autoconfiguration (SLAAC) to enable Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC) to automatically generate an IPv6 address. The address is generated from the prefixes contained in the router advertisements.
  5. Click Save Changes.
