3.8. NFS server configuration
The Pro Series supports NFS
(Network File System)
service for system or port data logging functions.
To use this service, the user must specify the IP address of a NFS server and the mounting path on
the NFS server.
Figure 3-12
displays the NFS server configuration page located in the web
configuration interface..
Figure 3-12 NFS server configuration
To store the Pro Series log data to the NFS server, the NFS server must be configured as “read and
write allowed”. If there is a firewall between the Pro Series and the NFS server, there must be a rule
that allows all outgoing and incoming packets to travel across the firewall.
If the NFS service is enabled and the NFS server configuration is properly set up, the user may
configure the storage location for the system log or port data log of the If there is a firewall between
the Pro Series and the SYSLOG server, there must be a rule that allows all outgoing and incoming
UDP packets to travel across the Pro Series as the NFS server. For more information about the
configuration of the port/system log storage location, please refer to section,
4.2.8 Port Logging
and
5.2 System Logging.
3.9. TCP service configuration
If a TCP session is established between two hosts, the connection should be closed (normally or
abnormally) by either of the hosts to prevent the lock-up of the corresponding TCP port. To prevent
this type of lock-up situation, the Pro Series provides a TCP “keep-alive” feature. The Pro Series will
send packets back and forth through the network periodically to confirm that the network exists . The
corresponding TCP session is closed automatically if there’s no response from the remote host.
To use the TCP “keep-alive” feature with the Pro Series, the users should configure three parameters
as follows:
