Network Access to the Server
SnapServers are preconfigured to use DHCP, autonegotiate network
settings, and allow access to the server for Windows (CIFS/SMB), Unix
(NFS), Macintosh (AFP), FTP/FTPS, and HTTP/HTTPS clients. Discussed
next are the options for configuring TCP/IP addressing, network bonding,
and access protocols. Network bonding options allow you to configure the
SnapServer for load balancing and failover. Network protocols control
which network clients can access the server.
Topics in Network Access:
• TCP/IP Options
• Configuring TCP/IP Settings
• Default Network Protocol Settings
• Windows Networking Configuration
• NFS Access
• Apple Networking Configuration
• FTP/FTPS Access
• HTTP/HTTPS Access
•DHCP Server
•Print Server
Note The default settings enable access to the SnapServer via all protocols
supported by the SnapServer. As a security measure, disable all protocols not in
use. For example, if no Macintosh or FTP clients need access to the SnapServer,
disable these protocols in the Administration Tool.
