Re: Problem NFS mounting Centos 7 file systems from vxWorks 5.5

[Jeong Han Lee <citadel.lee@gmail.com>]

Hi Mark,

  According to your email, the following my comment may not be valid, 
but better to check it out.

  Do you enable firewall service? CentOS7 uses the NFSv4 as default as 
Torsten mentioned, that use only 2049 port [1]. With the firewall 
commands as systemd's definition, you can open that port. However, NFSv3 
uses the more than one port, and all ports are allocated when the 
service is started dynamically. So, you have to define unused ports 
manually  before the NFSv3 service is started and open these ports later 
(via systemd with firewalld or others... )

  I hope it may help you to resolve that issue.

  Thanks,
  Han
