Important Points to Remember

● When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is configured.

Mounting an NFS File System
This feature enables you to quickly access data on an NFS mounted file system. You can perform file operations on an NFS
mounted file system using supported file commands.
This feature allows an NFS mounted device to be recognized as a file system. This file system is visible on the device and you
can execute all file commands that are available on conventional file systems such as a Flash file system.
Before executing any CLI command to perform file operations, you must first mount the NFS file system to a mount-point on
the device. Since multiple mount-points exist on a device, it is mandatory to specify the mount-point to which you want to load
the system. The /f10/mnt/nfs directory is the root of all mount-points.
To mount an NFS file system, perform the following steps:
Table 4. Mounting an NFS File System
File Operation Syntax
To mount an NFS file system:
mount nfs rhost:path mount-
point username password
The foreign file system remains mounted as long as the device is up and does not reboot. You can run the file system commands
without having to mount or un-mount the file system each time you run a command. When you save the configuration using the
write command, the mount command is saved to the startup configuration. As a result, each time the device re-boots, the
NFS file system is mounted during start up.
