Specifying NIS Properties
The NAS server supports Network Information System (NIS). NIS maintains a
central database of names and locations of resources on a network. NIS was
formerly known as Yellow Pages.
To enable or disable NIS:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to Networking Settings > UNIX.
3 Select Actions > Edit NIS Properties.
4 Check Disable NIS or Enable NIS (Disable NIS is the default).
5 If you are enabling NIS:
a Enter the NIS domain name in the Domain Name field.
b Select either:
— Broadcast to locate Server at boot time. In order for the NAS server to
find the NIS server, the server must be on the same subnet as the NAS
server.
— Specify server and enter the master server's IP address.
6 Click OK.
