1-4 Configuring Your ReadyNAS
v1.0, October 2007
If you wish to use the ReadyNAS in a VLAN environment, select the Enable VLAN support
check box, and enter a numeric VLAN tag. You need to reboot the ReadyNAS for the VLAN
function to take effect.
In the Performance Setting area, the Enable jumbo frames option allows you to optimize the
ReadyNAS for large data transfers such as multiple streams of video playback. Select this option if
your NIC and your gigabit switch support jumbo frames.
If your ReadyNAS device comes with multiple Ethernet interfaces, you will see a separate
configuration tab for each interface.
Warning: Do not enable VLAN support unless you are sure that your clients also
support VLAN. Otherwise, you can lose network access to the ReadyNAS,
and you might need to reinstall the firmware to disable the VLAN setting.
Note: The ReadyNAS supports a 7936 byte frame size, so for optimal performance, a
switch capable of this frame size or larger should also be used.
