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 10.1.1.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: 10.1.1.1
- DNS: 10.1.1.2
- NTP: 10.1.1.2
- DC (Domain Controller): 10.1.1.2
- FreeNAS: 10.1.1.3
- 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:
- Where appropriate, we'll make a note of where additional server IP's can be entered, for redundancy
Getting started with FreeNAS
Initial connection
- When FreeNAS 9.3 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:
File:FreeNAS 9.3 DHCP on first boot.png
- Use your favorite web browser to connect to that address - the first visit to the FreeNAS webUI will prompt you for a password, for the default user root

Configuring networking
- Click on Network -> Global Configuration
- Hostname: freenas (this needs to match the DNS "A" record & computer account name you created during the Active Directory prep)
- Domain: mauiri.xxx
- IPv4 Default Gateway: 10.1.1.1
- Nameserver 1: 10.1.1.2
- Click "Save"

- Click on Network -> Interfaces -> Add Interface
- NIC: select the NIC being used by FreeNAS (single NIC systems only have 1 item in the dropdown list)
- Interface Name: em0 (We named it the same as what FreeNAS names it, for consistency - you can name it whatever you like)
- DHCP: unchecked
- IPv4 Address: 10.1.1.3 (this needs to match the DNS "A" record you created during the Active Directory prep)
- IPv4 Netmask: /24
- Click "Save"
- The new IP address takes effect immediately - repoint your browser to the new address to continue
