How to connect a NAS to QuWAN Orchestrator using QuWAN Express and the Super Node Service?

如何使用 QuWAN Express 和超级节点服务将 NAS 连接到 QuWAN Orchestrator？

• The NAS must have an active internet connection for the check to pass.
• The check confirms whether the L2TP/IPSec server is disabled because it must be turned off before you continue.
• The check verifies that the NAS is signed in with a QNAP ID and prompts you to log in when necessary.

1. Click .
   The Edit Device Information window appears.
2. Optional: Select the QuWAN Organization from the dropdown.
   If your QNAP ID is a member of multiple organizations, select the organization that will manage this NAS.
3. Optional: Select an option to determine the region where the NAS establishes its QuWAN connection:
   • Auto (Recommended): QVPN Service automatically chooses the best region. It prioritizes regions where a hub router exists for your organization. If a hub is unavailable, it falls back to a Super Node region.
   • Super Node: Force connection to the QuWAN Super Node cloud endpoint.
     Note

     Use when there is no hub in your organization or when you want immediate cloud endpoint access. When using Super Node, the NAS receives a cloud-assigned public IP and port for external connectivity without port forwarding.
   • Custom Region: Manually select a region when you want the NAS to join a particular segment of your QuWAN organization.
4. Click Apply.
   QVPN Service updates the device registration settings locally and prepares to register the device with QuWAN Orchestrator.

The NAS is registered to QuWAN Orchestrator and becomes an edge NAS.
Once the NAS successfully joins the QuWAN organization, the following actions occur automatically:

• The QuWAN Orchestrator assigns a Virtual IP address to the NAS inside the QuWAN overlay network.
• If a hub router exists in the assigned region, the NAS will automatically establish an IPSec tunnel with that hub.
• If connected to a Super Node, the NAS will receive a public IP address and port assigned by the cloud endpoint enabling secure external access without manual port forwarding.

Once connected the NAS is reachable via the QuWAN virtual network by other edge devices and by users who have appropriate QuWAN access (for example, remote clients or other NAS devices).

1. Log into QuWAN Orchestrator.
2. Select your organization.
3. Go to QuWAN Device.
4. Locate the NAS by the device name.
5. Under Topology Status, check if the status is Connected.

• NAS 必须具有有效的互联网连接才能通过检查。
• 检查确认 L2TP/IPSec 服务器是否已禁用，因为在继续之前必须关闭它。
• 检查验证 NAS 是否已使用 QNAP ID 登录，并在必要时提示您登录。

1. 点击。
   出现编辑设备信息窗口。
2. 可选：从下拉菜单中选择QuWAN 组织。
   如果您的 QNAP ID 是多个组织的成员，请选择将管理此 NAS 的组织。
3. 可选：选择一个选项以确定 NAS 建立其 QuWAN 连接的区域：
   • 自动（推荐）：QVPN VPN 服务器自动选择较佳区域。它优先考虑您的组织中存在中心路由器的区域。如果没有中心，则回退到超级节点区域。
   • 超级节点：强制连接到 QuWAN 超级节点云端点。
     注意

     在您的组织中没有中心或您希望立即访问云端点时使用。使用超级节点时，NAS 接收一个云分配的公共 IP 和端口，以便在无需端口转发的情况下进行外部连接。
   • 自定义区域：当您希望 NAS 加入 QuWAN 组织的特定部分时，手动选择一个区域。
4. 点击应用。
   QVPN VPN 服务器本地更新设备注册设置，并准备将设备注册到 QuWAN Orchestrator。

NAS 被注册到 QuWAN Orchestrator 并成为一个端点 NAS。
一旦 NAS 成功加入 QuWAN 组织，以下操作将自动发生：

• QuWAN Orchestrator 为 NAS 分配一个虚拟 IP 地址，位于 QuWAN 覆盖网络内。
• 如果在分配的区域中存在中心路由器，NAS 将自动与该中心建立 IPSec 隧道。
• 如果连接到超级节点，NAS 将接收由云端点分配的公共 IP 地址和端口，启用安全的外部访问，无需手动端口转发。

连接后，NAS 可以通过 QuWAN 虚拟网络被其他端点设备和具有适当 QuWAN 访问权限的用户（例如，远程客户端或其他 NAS 设备）访问。

1. 登录到 QuWAN Orchestrator。
2. 选择您的组织。
3. 进入QuWAN  设备。
4. 通过设备名称找到 NAS。
5. 在拓扑状态下，检查状态是否为已连接。
