     31'''IMPORTANT:''' If for any reason you do not want to use IGE repos, you can alternatively configure the system to use EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. 
     32* The configuration can be done by installation of yum-conf-epel.noarch package using the YUM Package Manager.

     49The grid-ftp server requires the X.509 certificate and key to be present in the following locations 
     50* ''/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem'' 
     51* ''/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem'' 
     52 
     53The GridFTP server has to be configured to know the range of opened ports for connections. 
     54Please edit the /etc/xinetd.d/gsiftp file and set the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable.

     102If you plan to  transfer large files we advice you to adjust system wide TCP keepalive: parameters: 
     103{{{ 
     104echo "600" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time 
     105echo "75" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl 
     106echo "9" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_probes 
     107}}} 
     108In order to make the changes persistent add it also to the `/etc/sysctl.conf`
