==Basic Environment Settings for the DiskStation== * [[List_of_Notifications_by_the_Synology_Disk_Station|Enable Email notification]] ** This will set the DiskStation where it will send an email out for any maintenance error or report to the administrator of the DiskStation * [[wikipedia:Gigabit_Ethernet|Use a 1Gbps Network]] or higher speed network ** Using a 1Gbps Network, which includes 1Gbps [[wikipedia:Network interface controller|NICs]], [[wikipedia:Category 6 cable| Ethernet cables]], and [[wikipedia:Network switch|network switches]] will ensure that the iSCSI performance will operate at it's best potential. Using a lower grade speed interface will result in not the best performance of accessing the iSCSI Target. * Restrict Initiator NICs to iSCSI Storage duties only ** On the Initiator NICs, it's recommended to disable all other protocols and services except for protocols for the iSCSI Service (mainly IPv4). This will reduce interference from the other protocols, and optimize the NIC for performance for accessing iSCSI Storage. * Assigned Fixed IP Addresses for both the DiskStation and all servers. ** This will ensure that IP Address for all of these devices will remain consistent after a network/power interruption.
