Warning: This topic contains documentation prepared by our support agents more than 12 months ago. It may not cover the newest models or the newest interfaces of NAS devices. We’re working on bringing you updated documentation for NAS devices in the near future. However, the methods of setting up third-party devices may still change when the manufacturers update their firmware or release new models. Therefore, to get the most accurate and current configuration guidance, we strongly recommend that you refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer. If you need help setting up newer equipment that does not match the description in this topic, contact us at support@portnox.com.
