NFS Terminology

This section includes basic terminology that must be understood to work with the NFS service. For more information about the NFS service, see Commands for Managing Network File Systems.

IP addresses that are used in this guide conform to RFC 5737, IPv4 Address Blocks Reserved for Documentation and RFC 3849, IPv6 Address Prefix Reserved for Documentation.

  • IPv4 addresses used in this documentation are blocks 192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, and 203.0.113.0/24.

    To show a subnet, the block is divided into multiple subnets by borrowing enough bits from the host to create the required subnet. For example, host address 192.0.2.0 might have subnets 192.0.2.32/27 and 192.0.2.64/27.

  • IPv6 addresses have prefix 2001:DB8::/32.
