Configuring vStor Network Settings

The Network Settings tab lists physical network interfaces of your vStor. Most applications will not require more than one network interface.

You can configure the network settings of Catalogic vStor from either the vStor Web Interface or from the shell, for each network interface individually.

Configuring Network Settings from vStor Web Interface
