ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition User Manual Selecting Services for Share Access Figure 2-13 The Services screen allows you to manage various services for share access. This in effect controls the type of clients you wish to allow access to the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition. Three types of services are available: Standard File Protocols, Streaming Services, and Discovery Services. These different services are explained in the following sections. Standard File Protocols The standard file protocols are common file-sharing services that allow your workstation clients to transfer files to and from the ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition using built-in file manager-overnetwork file protocols supported by the client operating system. The available services are: • CIFS (Common Internet File Service). Sometimes referred to as SMB. This protocol is used mainly by Microsoft Windows clients, and sometimes by Mac OS X clients. Under Windows, when you click on My Network Places Network Neighborhood, you are going across CIFS. This service is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. • NFS (Network File Service). NFS is used by Linux and Unix clients. Mac OS 9/X users can access NFS shares as well through console shell access. The ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition supports NFS v3 over UDP and TCP. 2-10 Setting Up and Managing Your ReadyNAS NVX v1.1, February 2009
