8. Select the Enable NIS+ checkbox.
9. In the Home Domain Server field, enter the NIS+ home domain server IP address.
If you don’t know the home domain server IP address, leave this field blank and
select the Use Broadcast checkbox. When this option is selected, the Sun StorEdge
5210 NAS automatically acquires the appropriate IP address for the home domain
server.
10. In the NIS+ Domain field, enter the NIS+ home domain.
Note – NIS+ domain names must end with a period (“.”).
11. Enter the Secure RPC Password for the NIS+ server. This is the password that was
set during step 1.c.
12. Enter the Search Path as a colon-separated list of domains. The search path
identifies the domains that NIS+ searches through when looking for information.
Leave this space empty to search only the home domain and its parents.
For example: If the NIS+ domain is eng.sun.com. and the search path is left blank,
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS first searches eng.sun.com. then sun.com. when
resolving names. Conversely, specifying a search path such as sun.com. instructs
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to search only in the domain of sun when resolving names.
13. Select the Use Broadcast checkbox if you do not know the IP address of the home
domain server.
