nasnames manages the current NAS name list for Network Media mode.The previous version was named setnas.

Description

nasnames stores a list of servers (and optionally IP addresses) in the MG-35 flash memory. These are checked by nbtscan when you attempt to browse the network, and if found, bypass the standard (slow) scanning of your subnet for SMB servers. Note that there is a limit of 16 servers or 60 characters, whichever is less.

• Displays current NAS name list
• Validates NAS server/IP strings
• Writes nvram

Usage

nasnames -d | -e | {<servername>[=<a.b.c.d>]}

<servername>   Hostname of SMB server

<a.b.c.d>      IP address of SMB server

-d             List the current NAS names

-e             Erase the current NAS names

Examples
