Default Re: What type of OS can talk to a snap server

As long as the snap is pre set to DHCP or Static IP it should not be a problem. Most linux can mount and write NFS file system. If the Snap was ever reset to factory setting you must have a PC or apple to run Assist. Assist uses a special protocol that SnapAppliance wrote to locate and do the initial setup. To my knowledge there is not any other program that can do it. Once the snap is on the network, any browser that has java support can connect the the snaps admin page (HTML).

Preset the unit to DHCP or assign a Static IP that will work with his subnet, then let him play/test it on his network.
