Hostname; Gateway - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

Hostname

Your ReadyNAS storage system uses the hostname to advertise itself on your network.
When you review your network using RAIDar, your PC, your Mac, or any other interface, you
can recognize your storage system by its hostname.
The default hostname is nas- followed by the last 3 bytes of the system's primary MAC
address. You can change the hostname to one that is easier to remember and recognize.

To change the hostname:
1. Select Network > Global Settings from the main list.
The Global Settings screen displays.
2. Enter a new hostname in the Hostname field.
The host name must be unique on your LAN. For example, if your router's hostname is
Fido, you cannot use Fido as your ReadyNAS system's hostname. Use only
alphanumeric characters and hyphens in your hostname.
3. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Gateway

A gateway is a device that connects your local area network to other networks, including the
Internet. In FrontView, you specify the IP address of the device that does this job in your local
area network. In most homes and smaller offices, this is the IP address of a router connected
to a cable modem or DSL service.
If you selected the DHCP option when you configured your Ethernet settings, the default
gateway field is automatically populated with the setting from your DHCP server.
If you selected the static option when you configured your Ethernet settings, you must
manually specify the IP address of the default gateway server if you want to access your
ReadyNAS system over the Internet. Your network administrator can help you determine
your gateway IP address.
