|    dlp.srv.world     +----------+----------+   node01.srv.world   |
|                      |                     |                      |

[2] To mount NFS share automatically when System starts, add setting in [/etc/fstab].
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/fstab
UUID=ff6b4988-5204-44d7-a535-8281d792043c / xfs defaults 0 0
UUID=1e51f7e8-063a-4366-963c-91c434a73a43 /boot xfs defaults 0 0
# add to last line : set NFS share
dlp.srv.world:/home/nfsshare /mnt nfs defaults 0 0
[3] To mount NFS share dynamically when anyone access to there, Configure AutoFS.
[root@node01 ~]#
dnf -y install autofs
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/auto.master
# add to last line

/-    /etc/auto.mount

[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/auto.mount
# create new : [mount point] [option] [location]

/mnt   -fstype=nfs,rw  dlp.srv.world:/home/nfsshare

[root@node01 ~]#
systemctl enable --now autofs

# move to the mount point to verify mounting

[root@node01 ~]#
cd /mnt
