To configure a new filer for the first time, perform the following steps. Some of the
procedures are optional, depending on the filer options that you purchased.
1. Set up DHCP.
If you want to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure
the filers onboard interface (
e0
), follow the instructions in "Using DHCP With the
Filer."
Using DHCP to assign an IP address to a filer enables you to use a Telnet client to
complete the first-time configuration, rather than having to attach a serial console
to the filer to complete the configuration.
2. Add the filer to a Windows NT domain.
If you purchased a license for the CIFS protocol for your filer and you plan to add
the filer to a Windows NT domain, see "Adding the Filer to a Windows NT
Domain" in Appendix C.
3. Configure the filer.
Configure your filer according to the instructions in "Configuring the Filer."
4. Verify the filers network connections.
Verify that the filer is communicating on the network by following the instructions
in "Verifying Network Connections."
5. Configure HTTP service.
If you purchased a license for the HTTP protocol for your filer, configure the HTTP
options as described in Chapter 6, "Configuring HTTP on the Filer."
6. Set up
passwd
and
group
files.
