How to mount an remote filesystem with specifying a port number

Question

I am trying to mount a director from another server on my server.

For that, I have tested

 sudo mount -t nfs 11.11.11.111:/some_directory /mnt/test/

But the connections gets a timeout because on the server I am using another port: 1122

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

You can specify options using the flag -o key=value. In this case:

 sudo mount -o port=1122 -t nfs 11.11.11.111:/some_directory /mnt/test/

For more information, do man mount_nfs

Solution 2

If I recall correctly you use the port= option to specify destination port. For example:

sudo mount -t nfs -o port=1122 11.11.11.111:/some_directory /mnt/test/
