Question

you are the network administrator for corpnet. a small group of software developers in your organization have to use linux workstations. you are creating a share for these linux users on your file server, which is named file1. how can you allow clients running linux-based operating systems to connect to a share on file1? answer create a storage space using thin provisioning. create the share using access-based enumeration. create the share using the network file system (nfs). create the share using network information service (nis).

Answer 1

To allow clients running Linux-based operating systems to connect to a share on file1, you can create the share using the Network File System (NFS).

NFS is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network as if those files were on the user's own computer. It is commonly used on Unix and Linux systems to share files and directories between systems.

To create the share using NFS, you would need to perform the following steps:

Install the NFS server software on file1 if it's not already installed.

Determine the directory that you want to share and configure the NFS server to export the directory to clients.

On the Linux clients, install the NFS client software if it's not already installed.

Mount the exported directory on the Linux clients using the "mount" command.

Once the NFS share is created, the Linux-based operating systems can access it as if it were a local directory. Note that you would need to configure appropriate permissions and access controls on the NFS server to ensure that only authorized users can access the share.
