Managing Mount Points
This feature lets you configure remote storage (mount points) for network file systems using a CIFS or
FTP connection. The dialog box lists the mount-point name, connection type, server name or IP address,
and the enabled setting (yes or no). You can add, edit, or delete mount points. See the “Adding or Editing
a CIFS/FTP Mount Point” section on page 80-3 for more information. You can access a CIFS mount
point after it has been created. For more information, see Accessing a CIFS Mount Point, page 80-4.
Note On a PIX 535 security appliance in single, routed mode, the Managing Mount Point feature is not
available.
