EqualLogic FS7500 Installation and Setup
5 NAS Service Configuration
Note:
Do not use the same subnet for the internal network and the client network. However, you can optionally
use the same switch and iSCSI VLAN; you do not need to create separate VLANs.

Security and Permissions
The NAS Service supports the following share types:
•
NTFS (Microsoft)
•
UNIX (POSIX)
•
Mixed
All three options allow access to the other types. However, the Mixed type changes the permission based on the
assigned permissions of the last user who accessed the share. Therefore, the Mixed type is not recommended in
environments where share access needs to be controlled.
Microsoft Active Directory and UNIX/Linux POSIX permissions are different, and cannot be accurately related
to each other. Determine whether your environment is predominantly Microsoft or Linux, then decide on a share
type that allows the best access control with the least management effort.
