Netgear RD521210 – ReadyDATA 5200 12TB SATA Bundle includes RD5200 with 2 x RD5D6LT01 Disk Packs Software Guide

The global file-sharing protocol settings affect the file-sharing protocols that allow access to 
shares. If a protocol is globally disabled, you can configure it for a share, but it does not take 
effect until you enable the protocol globally. For information about how to configure and 
enable file-sharing protocols for shares, see 

76.

The ReadyDATA supports the following file-sharing protocols:

SMB (Server Message Block). Used mainly by Microsoft Windows computers and 
sometimes by Mac OS X computers for share access. SMB uses TCP/IP. SMB is enabled 
by default.

AFP (Apple File Protocol). Used by Mac OS X computers for share access. AFP is 

enabled by default.

NFS (Network File Service). Used by Linux and Unix clients for share access. Mac OS X 
users can access NFS shares through console shell access. The ReadyDATA supports 
NFS over UDP and TCP. NFS is disabled by default.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

The ReadyDATA supports anonymous and controlled user 

access for FTP clients. You can elect to set up port forwarding to nonstandard ports for 
better security when you access files over the Internet. FTP is disabled by default.

SNMP. Lets you monitor but not manage the ReadyDATA over a network management 
system. SNMP is disabled by default.

SSH. Lets you remotely manage the ReadyDATA over an SSH connection. SSH is 
disabled by default.

By default, SMB, and AFP are enabled; FTP, NFS, SSH, and SNMP are disabled.
