This guide is for system administrators who are familiar with operating systems that
run on the filers clients, such as UNIX, Microsoft Windows 9x, and Microsoft
Windows NT. It also assumes that you are familiar with how the Network File System
(NFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS), and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
protocols are used for file sharing or transfers. This guide doesnt cover basic system
or network administration topics, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addressing, routing,
and network topology; it emphasizes the characteristics of the Dell filer.
