When configuring SMB signing, note the following:

SMB2 is always enabled.

Use the Required check box to specify whether SMB signing (with either SMB1 or SMB2) is
required.

The Disabled check box applies only to SMB1. Use this check box to enable or disable SMB
signing with SMB1.

You should also be aware of the following:

The File Share Settings dialog box does not display whether SMB signing is currently enabled
or disabled. Use the following command to view the current setting for SMB signing:

ibrix_cifsconfig -i

SMB signing must not be required to support connections from 10.5 and 10.6 Mac clients.

It is possible to configure SMB signing differently on individual servers. Backup SMB servers
should have the same settings to ensure that clients can connect after a failover.

The SMB signing settings specified on the File Share Settings dialog box are not affected by
Windows domain group policy settings when joined to a Windows domain.

Managing SMB shares with the GUI

To view existing SMB shares on the GUI, select File Shares > CIFS from the Navigator. The CIFS
Shares panel shows the file system being shared, the hosts (or servers) providing access, the name
of the share, the export path, and the options applied to the share.

NOTE:

When externally managed appears in the option list for a share, that share is being

managed with the Microsoft Management Console interface. The GUI or CLI cannot be used to
change the permissions for the share.
