Configure routes for the file interface for external connections You can configure the routes that the file system uses for external connections. You can use the Ping option from the File Interface card to determine if the file interface has access to the external resource. Usually, the NAS server interfaces are configured with a default gateway, which is used to route requests from the NAS server interface to external services. Use the following steps: ● If you need to configure more granular routes to external services. ● To add a route to access a server from a specific interface through a specific gateway. 1. Select Storage > NAS Servers > [nas server] > Network > Routes to External Services. 2. Click Add to enter the route information in the Add Route wizard. Enable NDMP backup You can configure standard backup for the NAS servers using NDMP. The Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) provides a standard for backing up file servers on a network. Once NDMP is enabled, a third-party Data Management Application (DMA), such as Dell EMC Networker, can detect the PowerStore NDMP using the NAS server IP address. Enabling NDMP is performed after the NAS server is created. PowerStore supports: ● Three-way NDMP. The data is transferred through the DMA over a local area network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). ● Full and incremental backups. 1. Select Storage > NAS Servers > [nas server] > Protection . 2. Under NDMP Backup, if Disabled is on, slide the button to change to Enabled. 3. Enter a password for the New Password. The user name is always ndmp. 4. Re-enter the same password as the new password in Verify Password. 5. Click Apply. Leave the NDMP page, and return back to the NDMP page to validate that NDMP is enabled. 20 Additional NAS Server Features
