Default Protocol Access Settings
Chapter 2 Network Access to the Server 17
Default Protocol Access Settings
Snap Servers are preconfigured to allow multiplatform access in heterogeneous
Windows, UNIX/Linux, and Macintosh environments. The following table
summarizes the Snap Server’s default network protocol access configuration.
Tip
As a security measure, disable any network protocols not required in your
network environment.
Windows SMB Access
Windows (SMB) settings are configured on the
Network > Windows
screen of the
Administration Tool. The default settings make the Snap Server available to SMB
clients in the workgroup named Workgroup. Language support is set to North
America/Europe (code page 850); opportunistic locking is enabled, as is
participation in master browser elections. See the online help for details in
configuring these options.
Protocol Default Comments
Windows (CIFS/SMB) Enabled Allows access to Windows clients via the
workgroup Workgroup.
NFS Enabled Allows universal access to all computers running
NFS without client address restrictions.
Apple (AFP) Enabled Allows access over an AppleTalk or TCP/IP
network using the default zone.
FTP Enabled Allows access using the anonymous user
account, which is mapped to the Snap Server's
local guest user account.
HTTP/HTTPS
(Internet/Intranet)
Enabled Allows users to access files via HTTP or HTTPS
using a Web or file browser. For added security,
administrators may require users to authenticate
over these protocols and may also disable HTTP.
DHCP Server Disabled Allows Snap Servers to distribute IP addresses to
network clients.
SSH Disabled Required only when installing a supported backup
agent or when troubleshooting under the direction
of a technical support representative. Using SSH
for any other purpose is not supported and may
void your warranty.
