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

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:

  • 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
