All the necessary servers are included in /etc/init.d/rcS but are commented out by default. To automatically start all NFS client services each time you boot, uncomment the NFS Client servers. Go to the /etc/init.d/rcS file. Uncomment the following command lines by removing the # sign.

/sbin/portmap

/sbin/rpc.statd /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd -r

You can also include commands to mount remote NFS file systems at boot time. There is an example line included at the appropriate location in /etc/init.d/rcS. Uncomment and alter the mount command included for your particular configuration.

NOTE: A “sleep” of 5 seconds is included to allow time for the links to come up prior to attempting the mount.

sleep 5

mount 10.0.0.1:/nfs –t nfs –o noac /mnt

NFS Server Configuration

The switch also contains an NFS server so that you can mount the switch file system from other systems. To enable the NFS server, first follow the steps to enable the NFS client. Then, edit

/etc/exports to include the file systems you wish to export. Consult a standard Linux Network Administrator’s Guide (or man pages) regarding options for exported file systems. Generally, an

entry in /etc/exports looks like the following:

/nfs *.localdomain.com(ro)

Now start nfsd to export the mount points and begin answering requests from remote clients.

/sbin/rpc.nfsd –r

To export file systems automatically on boot, edit /etc/init.d/rcS, uncomment the /sbin/rpc.nfsd command line by removing the #.

/sbin/rpc.nfsd -r

Connecting to the Switch Using FTP

Use ftp to transfer files to or from the switch. See the Linux Reference Guide for details of the ftp command. In general, you can use ftp to connect to any system running an ftp server, including other OpenArchitect switches, to either get (transfer files from the remote host to the switch) or put (transfer files from the switch to the remote host) files.

ftp <remote_host>
