Preparing for NFS Authentication
Adding an NFS Access List
CLI Storage-Management Guide 4-13
Each access list can support a maximum of 2048 permit and deny rules, including the
individual permit rules for every host in every netgroup. If you exceed the limit
(perhaps because of an overly-large netgroup), this output shows the first 2048 entries
followed by an error.
Setting the NIS Domain
If the access list will use NIS netgroups, you must set the access list’s NIS domain.
The ARX needs the NIS domain to access the local NIS server. (You map the NIS
domain name to an NIS server ahead of time, as described earlier: recall “Adding a
NIS Domain” on page 4-1.)
From gbl-nfs-acl mode, use the
nis domain command to set the NIS domain for the
access list:
nis domain domain
where domain can be up to 256 characters long.
For example, the following command sequence lists all NIS domains, shows only
“wwmed.com,” and uses it in an access list named “eastcoast:”
bstnA6k(gbl)# show nis domain

bstnA6k(gbl)# nfs-access-list eastcoast

Removing the NIS Domain
Use no nis domain to remove the NIS domain from the access list:
no nis domain
For example:
