Configuring Name Services
The Titan SiliconServer supports standard name services. Name services are used to convert
server or host names into IP addresses. In addition to the Domain Name System (DNS), Titan
supports WINS (used by CIFS clients) and NIS (used by NFS clients).
Setting up the System to Work with a Name Server
Titan can be set to work with a local name server and to support four name resolution methods:
1.
Domain Name System (DNS)
2.
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
3.
Network Information Service (NIS)
4.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
These name resolution methods associate computer identifiers (e.g. IP addresses) with computer
names. This will allow computer names rather than IP addresses in dialog boxes (for example,
the NFS Export Properties dialog box).
