You must specify how the NAS Bridge node will access the DNS and NTP services. Depending on your storage network and deployment goals, you can choose to use the Active Directory server or standalone network servers for the DNS and NTP services.
Using the same server for Active Directory and NTP ensures that the NAS Bridge node is using the same time as the Active Directory service.
Using the same server for Active Directory and DNS ensures that the NAS Bridge node can resolve the fully qualified domain name of the Active Directory server.
If you are using the same server, you must specify the same IP address for all three services. You will complete the Active Directory definition after you add the DNS and NTP entries.
If you use separate servers for Active Directory and NTP, you must synchronize the time on the two servers to ensure that the NAS Bridge node uses the same time as the Active Directory service.
If you use separate servers for Active Directory and DNS, you must ensure that the DNS server can resolve the fully qualified domain name of the Active Directory server.
If you are using separate servers, you must know the IP address of the actual, dedicated DNS and NTP servers.
