Default Networking Configuration
Snap Servers are preconfigured to allow multiplatform access in heterogeneous
Windows, UNIX/Linux, and Macintosh environments. The following table
summarizes the Snap Server’s default networking configuration.
Protocol Default Comments
TCP/IP DHCP By default, Snap Servers acquire an IP address
from the DHCP server on the network.
Network bonding Standalone Network bonding treats two ports as a single
channel for failover or load balancing purposes.
The standalone setting treats each port as a
separate interface, effectively disabling network
bonding.
Speed/duplex Auto The speed setting establishes the rate for
transmission and reception of data. The duplex
setting causes the Ethernet port to transmit
packets in one way or two ways at the same time.
The default setting of Auto enables automatic
negotiation of the speed and duplex settings
based on the physical port connection to a switch.
Windows (CIFS/SMB) Enabled Allows access to Windows clients via the
workgroup domain.
NFS Enabled Allows universal access to all computers running
NFS without client address restrictions.
Apple (AFP) Enabled Allows access over an Appletalk or TCP/IP
network using the default zone.
FTP Enabled Allows read-only FTP access for anonymous
users and read/write access for authorized users.
DHCP Disabled Allows Snap Servers to distribute IP addresses to
network clients.
Require Authentication
HTTPS
