Create NAS Interface
Overview
This function creates NAS interfaces. Up to 160 NAS interfaces can be created.
This function is used in a Unified Storage environment.
If the NAS interface creation has not been completed successfully, wait for the storage system status to return to normal and then try again.
To use the Active-Active connection, specify different IP addresses on the same subnetwork for the ports of each CM that will be duplicated.

NAS Interface Settings
In this screen, perform the NAS interface settings.
| Item | Description | Setting values |
|---|---|---|
Port |
Select the port in which the NAS interface is to be created. Only the NAS ports that are not configured in a NAS interface are displayed as options in the list box. Note that bonding ports (or member ports for Bonding) are not displayed. |
CM#x CA#y Port#z x: CM number y: CA number z: Port number The port that satisfies the requirements described above with the smallest CM number, CA number, and port number |
Redundant Port |
Select which redundant port is used for the multipath configuration of the target port. If a multipath configuration is not used, select "None". When a multipath configuration is not used for the target port, "single ports with NAS interface settings" and "None" are displayed as options. Ports in a different CM from the target port are displayed as redundant ports. Note that bonding ports (or member ports for Bonding) are not displayed. If a multipath configuration is already used for the target port, a redundant port is displayed. |
CM#x CA#y Port#z x: CM number y: CA number z: Port number None The port that satisfies the requirements described above with the smallest CM number, CA number, and port number |
IP Address |
Input the IPv4 address of the target port. |
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx: 1 - 255 for the top field (decimal) xxx: 0 - 255 for other fields (decimal) Class must be A, B, or C. |
Subnet Mask |
Input the subnet mask of the target port. |
192.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.252 |
Gateway |
Input the IPv4 gateway address of the target port. |
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx: 0 - 255 for all the fields (decimal) Class must be A, B, or C. |
IPv6 Link Local Address |
Input the IPv6 link local address of the target port. |
fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx xxxx: 0 - ffff (FFFF) (hexadecimal, alphanumeric characters) Refer to "IPv6 Address Notation" for details. |
IPv6 Connect IP Address |
Input the IPv6 connect IP address of the target port. |
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx xxxx: 0 - ffff (FFFF) (hexadecimal, alphanumeric characters) Refer to "IPv6 Address Notation" for details. |
IPv6 Gateway |
Input the IPv6 gateway address of the target port. |
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx xxxx: 0 - ffff (FFFF) (hexadecimal, alphanumeric characters) Refer to "IPv6 Address Notation" for details. |
IPv6 Prefix length |
Input the IPv6 prefix length of the target port. |
3 - 128 |
