Hello together,

I'd to configure the NFS server (under AIX6.1) to accept only UDP connections. How (where) can I do this. I didn't find any option for this in smitty.

Thank you for your help,

Look at the man page for nfsd.

In your case you would probably want to do somthing like:

chssys -s nfsd -p upd 4

Note, the number "4" is just an example, you might want to tune that to the size of you system.

I meant "udp" in the example of my previous post (typo!).

Thanks for your answer, but I've got some more questions.

Will this change be permanent? How do I switch it back to default and what does the "4" mean?

On second thought you should perhapps not mess around with that number, just stay with the defaults. It's only if you need to tune your system, like if you have lots of clients, etc.

It has to do with the number of concurrent requests the NFS server handles.

The following command should be enough for you.

chssys -s nfsd -p udp

Also, the chssys command should save the change for next reboot, etc.
