• Select Static if you have a fixed IPv6 address assigned by your ISP.
• Select Disable to not assign any IPv6 address for the NSA.
Address - Enter the IPv6 address assigned by your ISP.
Subnet prefix length - Enter the address prefix length to specify how many most
significant bits in an IPv6 address compose the network address. The range is 0 to 128
Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway is a
router or switch on the same segment as your Device's interface(s). The gateway helps

Jumbo Frames Jumbo frames improve network performance. You must have a 1 Gbps (Gigabit
Ethernet) network that supports jumbo frames. Select the largest size of frame that all
of your network devices (including computer Ethernet cards and switches, hubs, or
routers) support.
When enabled, you can choose between 4 KB, 8 KB, and 9 KB frame sizes.
Note: If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that does not support them,
you will lose access to the NSA. If this occurs, you will have to restore the factory
default configuration. Push the RESET button on the NSA’s rear panel and
release it after you hear a beep.
Network Diagnostic

Use this section to test the network connection to a particular IP address or domain
name. Select an address or type it into the field. Then click Ping to have the NSA send
a packet to test the network connection.
• Successfully pinged host - The NSA is able to “ping” the host, the network
connection is OK.
• Unable to ping host - The NSA is able to “ping” the selected host.
Apply Click this to save your TCP/IP configurations. After you click Apply, the NSA restarts.
Wait until you see the Login screen or until the NSA fully boots and then use the NAS
