FreeNAS Corral 10.x setup

Before we start

• We used a virtualized setup in order to create this walkthrough, using generic domain & computer names where possible.
• We used the private IP address range of 192.168.15.x - obviously you'll want to replace our internal IP addresses with your own
  • We used a single Active Directory domain controller, to keep things simple. We then configured the following network settings, which is reflected throughout this document:
    • Gateway: 192.168.15.1
    • DNS: 192.168.15.3
    • NTP: 192.168.15.3
    • DC (Domain Controller): 192.168.15.3
    • FreeNAS Corral: 192.168.15.4

• Where appropriate, we'll make a note of where additional server IP's can be entered, for redundancy
• Generic Password: HorseBattery@2017

Getting started with FreeNAS

Initial connection

• When FreeNAS Corral 10.0 is first installed, the network adapter is set to DHCP - we will change this a few steps down. We will be configuring FreeNAS purely from the webUI, so make a note of the IP on the FreeNAS server console:

• Use your favorite web browser to connect to that address - The FreeNAS webUI will prompt you for a password, for the default user root using the password you set during the installation routine.
• To change from a dynamic IP to a static IP, after you log in, on the left menu click on Network -> Interfaces -> "Interface name" (dhcp)

• On the next screen, uncheck DHCP, and then:
  • Click on Add address
  • 
  • Click the IPv4 radio button, and add 192.168.15.4 under Address, and 255.255.255.0 under Subnet mask / Prefix length and click Done, then click Save at the bottom of the page, and then click Save again.
  • 
  • Then click on Settings under Interfaces, and change the following:
    • Hostname: freenas.mai-dev.net
    • HTTP Proxy: leave blank
    • DHCP Settings
      • Assign Gateway: uncheck
      • Assign DNS: uncheck
    • Gateway Settings
      • IPv4: 192.168.15.1
      • IPv6: leave blank unless you're actively using IPv6 in your environment
    • DNS Settings
      • IP Addresses -> Add DNS Address: 192.168.15.3
      • Search Domains -> Add Search Domain: mai-dev.net
    • Click Save
