Depending on the model and network settings, the LAN or Internet tab provides options to configure DHCP settings. DHCP is a network protocol for automatic IP configuration. To let DHCP assign an IP for the system, choose Get network configuration automatically (DHCP) and click Apply to save the setting.
If you are using a specific IP address from your network service provider, choose Use manual configuration and manually enter the IP address and subnet mask. If a DNS server or a default gateway is not available, keep the field blank.
When the network environment requires VLAN settings, you can enable the VLAN option and enter a VLAN ID for the network environment.
Synology RackStation supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack scheme. This means that both IPv4 and IPv6 can work simultaneously on Synology RackStation. The default settings for IPv6 is Auto. You can click the IPv6 Setup button under the LAN tab to change the settings.
In the IPv6 Setup page, choose between the different setup types:
IPv6 address only works under IPv6 network environment. However, as the mainstream Internet structure is still under the IPv4 network environment, you need to enable IPv6 Tunnel for full Internet access. This can be configured under the Tunnel tab.
When the RackStation acts as a wireless router, the Wireless LAN tab provides options to configure DCHP services settings. Enable the DHCP Server option allows the RackStation to assign IP addresses to client devices.
