Chapter 3 - Network Access - Overland Storage SnapServer Administrator's Manual

Chapter 3
SnapServers are preconfigured to use DHCP, autonegotiate network settings, and allow
access to the server for Windows (CIFS/SMB), Unix (NFS), Mac (AFP), FTP/FTPS, and
HTTP/HTTPS clients. This chapter addresses 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:
• View Network Information
•
TCP/IP Options
• Windows Networking (SMB)

Apple Networking (AFP)
• NFS (Unix) Access
• NIS Domain
• FTP/FTPS Access
• SNMP Configuration

• iSNS Configuration
IMPORTANT: The default settings enable access to the SnapServer via all protocols
supported by the SnapServer. As a security measure, disable any protocols not in use. For
example, if no Mac or FTP clients need access to the SnapServer, disable these protocols in the
Web Management Interface.
