NFS Client Groups

The Client Groups feature gives administrators a method of assigning access permissions to a

set of clients. The administrator creates a client group, gives it a name, and then inserts clients

into the group by client name or IP address. After the client group is created, the administrator

adds or removes permissions for the entire group, instead of allowing or denying access for

each individual client machine.

Proper planning includes control over the naming conventions of client groups and users. If the

client group is given the same name as a client, the client is obscured from the view of the

server. For example, assume that a client d4 exists. If a client group called d4 is created,

permissions can no longer be assigned to just the client d4. Any reference to d4 now refers to

client group d4.

To manage NFS client groups:

1. From the WebUI, access the NFS Protocol Properties dialog box by selecting Shares,

Sharing Protocols. Select Client Groups. The NFS Client Groups dialog box is

displayed.
