Buffalo terastation port trunking setup

Note that only port 1 will allow you to set a default gateway. That gateway will be used by both ports if both ports are connected. Once you have the settings configured correctly click OK. Click on "LAN Port 2" to configure the settings for that port. Note that the settings for port 2 are slightly different from port 1. Connect the AirStation to the PC and power both devices on. Launch a web browser and enter the AirStation's IP address into the address bar.

Log in to Settings. The default username is "admin" and the default password is "password". Click the "Advanced Settings" tile. Click on the "Security" tab on the left, then click on the "Port Forwarding" subtab. A user registration a setup of the user name and password on the product is required in advance. Change the set-up for the shared folder. Input the BuffaloNAS. A window for Web Access appears.

Was this answer helpful? Yes No. Because the IP address of the TeraStation designated as the backup cannot be changed, set its IP address before configuring failover. For more information on configuring static IP addresses see here. The following operations will not be available while failover is enabled: Initializing settings, changing the RAID settings, formatting drives, iSCSI volume, changing the backup unit's settings. Make a note of the original settings so that they can be configured manually if the backup TeraStation replaces the main TeraStation.

Configure your UPS before configuring failover. If the backup TeraStation is configured to sync with the UPS connected to the main TeraStation, and the main TeraStation shuts down, the backup TeraStation will no longer be able to detect if there was a power outage.

The backup TeraStation is updated over normal network traffic. Updating is done over this dedicated network path, so updates are quicker and don't interfere with normal network traffic.

In both configurations in the event of a failure the backup TeraStation will assume the name and IP addresses of the primary TeraStation unless a "Service IP" is configured in the failover setup. Access TeraStation's Settings and click on the "Backup" tab from the left hand column.
