NFS and SMB/CIFS
Use the NFS & SMB/CIFS page if you want to save configuration and logging data onto a
remote NFS server, or export configuration and logging data by means of an exported
CIFS share.
Mounting an NFS shared directory on a remote network server onto a local SLB directory
enables the SLB branch office manager to store device port logging data on that network
server. This configuration avoids possible limitations in the amount of disk space on the
SLB device available for the logging file(s). You may also save SLB configurations on the
network server.
Similarly, use SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System),
Microsoft’s file-sharing protocol, to export a directory on the SLB branch office manager
as an SMB/CIFS share. The SLB device exports a single read-write CIFS share called
"public," with two subdirectories:
The logs directory, which contains the system logs and the device port local
buffers (see System Logs on page 190) and is read-only.
The config directory, which contains saved configurations and is read-write.
The share allows users to access the contents of the directory or map the directory onto
a Windows computer. Users can also access the device port local buffers from the CIFS
share (see Device Ports – Logging on page 98).
To configure NFS and SMB/CIFS:
1. Click the Services tab and select the NFS/CIFS option. The following page
