<h1>Configuration changes</h1>
<ul>
<li>FEEs uses NFS2 which is no longer enabled by default
<ul>
<li>Must edit config in /etc/nfs.conf to uncomment the following lines:
<ul>
<li>[nfsd]</li>
<li>vers2=y</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>/etc/xinetd.d/time-stream must be edited by uncommenting
<ul>
<li>
<p>disable = no</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Many services such as xinetd and dhcp will not automatically start at startup following a restart of the system</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>To enable this must enter `systemctl enable dhcpd` or `systemctl enable xinetd`</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Likewise can check status with `systemctl status $SERVICE_NAME`</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Also need to check the firewall status of the ethernet port connected to the FEEs.</p>

<li>
<p>Easiest solution is to set the port to be trusted</p>
