I am mounting my NAS shares on the masOS (Big Sur) desktop, and the NAS only turns up as the IP address in the Finder under Locations. How do I change that name - is it even possible?

Right now the NAS is name "20.0.20.20" (The IP I am assigning it on my router). I would like it to have a normal name like "KB NAS".

I should add that my NAS has 3 interfaces; Gigabit Ethernet, 10G Ethernet, and Thunderbolt. For some reason the Gigabit Ethernet and the Thunderbolt, both show up in Network with the name I have defined on my NAS, but not the 10G Ethernet one.
