individual nodes. The MTU values do not have
to be the same for all network types.
d. Click Save.
When you change the IP address, the gateway and list of subnets might also change.
If you lose your connection to the StorageGRID Appliance Installer, re-enter the URL
using the new static IP address you just assigned. For example,
https://SG6000-CN_Controller_IP:8443
e. Confirm that the list of Grid Network subnets is correct.
If you have grid subnets, the Grid Network gateway is required. All grid subnets specified
must be reachable through this gateway. These Grid Network subnets must also be
defined in the Grid Network Subnet List on the primary Admin Node when you start
StorageGRID installation.
Note: The default route is not listed. If the Client Network is not enabled, the default
route will use the Grid Network gateway.

To add a subnet, click the insert icon
to the right of the last entry.

If you selected DHCP, follow these steps to configure the Grid Network:
a. After you select the DHCP radio button, click Save.
The IPv4 Address, Gateway, and Subnets fields are automatically populated. If the
DHCP server is set up to assign an MTU value, the MTU field is populated with that
value, and the field becomes read-only.
Your web browser is automatically redirected to the new IP address for the StorageGRID
Appliance Installer.
b. Confirm that the list of Grid Network subnets is correct.
If you have grid subnets, the Grid Network gateway is required. All grid subnets specified
must be reachable through this gateway. These Grid Network subnets must also be
defined in the Grid Network Subnet List on the primary Admin Node when you start
StorageGRID installation.
Note: The default route is not listed. If the Client Network is not enabled, the default
route will use the Grid Network gateway.

To add a subnet, click the insert icon
to the right of the last entry.
•
To remove an unused subnet, click the delete icon .
c. If you want to use jumbo frames, change the MTU field to a value suitable for jumbo
frames, such as 9000. Otherwise, keep the default value of 1500.
Attention: The MTU value of the network must
match the value configured on the switch port
the node is connected to. Otherwise, network
performance issues or packet loss might occur.
Attention: For the best network performance,
all nodes should be configured with similar
MTU values on their Grid Network interfaces.
The Grid Network MTU mismatch alert is
triggered if there is a significant difference in
MTU settings for the Grid Network on
