How to best use the dual NIC's on 1100?

I have a 1100 with latest firmware x.13

I understand I can't team both NIC's (will that change in the future?)

So what will the best way be If I want the 1100 to only server my LAN, with a single subnet.
It's a Windows Server 2008 R2 enviroment.

What settings should the NIC's have?
Any special settings on the Switch?
DHCP?
DNS?

    The 1100 is long EOL. So there won't be new features.

    So a single NIC connected to your network could be the way to go.

    The NAS should automatically pickup an I.P. from your DHCP server. You could assign the NAS a static I.P. in the DHCP settings on your router.
  • Thanks for the speedy reply.

    Yes, I know they (I have 2 :-) ) are EOL, but they're perfect for me.

    Just upgraded them to 5.5 TB, so They still have many more with me.
