Working with Jumbo Frames
The term jumbo frame refers to a frame on a local area network that is larger than
the standard 1518 byte size. SmartStor supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes.
On SmartStor, the frame size setting is called Maximum Transmission Unit
(MTU). The default MTU or frame is 1500 bytes. This setting is appropriate for
most users. See your Network Administrator before you change this setting.
To make frame size settings:
1. In the Tree, click the + beside the Network icon.
2. Click the Network Setup icon.
3. Click the Jumbo Frame tab.
4. From the MTU dropdown menu, choose the maximum MTU or frame size:
• 1500 bytes (default)
• 4000 bytes
• 7000 bytes
5. Click the OK button.
6. In the confirmation box, click the OK button.
Working with DDNS
A Domain Name Service (DNS) translates human-readable hostnames, such as
www.promise.com, into IP addresses, such as 103.204.15.26, and back again.
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is required because in many cases, IP addresses
periodically change. The DDNS enables you to keep up-to-date and stay
connected.
