Protocol Setting  Unix/Linux(NFS).

1. Login to console of Linux client. Change to root user, if necessary.

2. To check which share folders of NAS are accessible via NFS protocol and which path

will be used for mounting, use the command “showmount –e x.x.x.x”, where x.x.x.x
is the NAS IP.

For example: showmount –e 192.168.99.127

3. Create local mount point, if not yet created.

4. Mount the share folder via NFS.

The format for the mount command is:
mount -t nfs x.x.x.x:/mnt/NAS/volume/share /local-mount-point

x.x.x.x is the NAS IP.
Note that /mnt/NAS/volume-name/share-name is the complete path to NFS share as
shown using the showmount command (step 2).

For example: mount –t nfs 192.168.99.127:/mnt/NAS/vol1/share1 /nfstest
