In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.

2

Navigate down the tree to Networking Settings > UNIX.

3

Select Actions > Edit NIS Properties.

4

Check Disable NIS or Enable NIS (Disable NIS is the default).

5

If you are enabling NIS:

a

Enter the NIS domain name in the Domain Name field.

b

Select either:

—

find the NIS server, the server must be on the same subnet as the NAS

server.

Specify server and enter the master server's IP address.

6

Click OK.
