Configuring NIS settings

The NIS (network information services), formerly known as Yellow Pages, is a UNIX standard for

centralizing the management of UNIX resources. The NAS-3410 supports the retrieval of user

accounts and their UID/GID from a NIS server.

If the NIS support is enabled, the NAS-3410 can auto-map NIS users with local/domain users. It
matches user names and assigns the UID/GID of the matched NIS users to local/domain users.
The user auto-mapping function provides better and tighter integration between NFS clients and
other network operating systems.

The steps of enabling NIS support are as follows:

1. Check the Enable NIS Support checkbox.

2. The NIS domain name is required. Please fill in the correct name in NIS Domain Name field.

3. If you do not know the IP address of the NIS server, please specify Find by broadcast.

Otherwise, specify the IP address in the fields.
