Configuring CIFS

Enabling CIFS Service
The next step in CIFS configuration is to enable it. Use the enable command from
gbl-cifs mode to activate the CIFS service:
enable
For example, the following command sequence enables CIFS for the global server at
“ac1.medarch.org:”
bstnA6k(gbl)# cifs ac1.medarch.org
bstnA6k(gbl-cifs[ac1.medarch.org])# enable
bstnA6k(gbl-cifs[ac1.medarch.org])# ...
Disabling CIFS
Disabling CIFS shuts down all CIFS connections to the global server. From gbl-cifs
mode, use
no enable to disable CIFS.
no enable
For example, the following command sequence disables CIFS for the
“ac1.medarch.org” global server:
bstnA6k(gbl)# cifs ac1.medarch.org
bstnA6k(gbl-cifs[ac1.medarch.org])# no enable
bstnA6k(gbl-cifs[ac1.medarch.org])# ...
Configuring Kerberos (optional)
For Windows networks that use Kerberos authentication, the CIFS service can
provide proxy authentication for its clients. You can only use Kerberos if the
namespace behind the CIFS service is configured for it; see “Using Kerberos for
Client Authentication” on page 7-15. Additionally, the service’s FQDN must belong
to a domain in the pre-configured Active-Directory forest (refer back to “Adding an
Active-Directory Forest (Kerberos)” on page 3-10).
