Enable or Disable SMB Message Signing
To help prevent attacks that modify SMB packets in transit, the SMB protocol supports the digital signing of SMB packets. SMB
message signing can be enabled or disabled using the nas-cluster select cluster_name smb-protocol message-signing command in
the Group Manager CLI. For more information about the CLI commands, see the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager CLI Reference
Guide, which is available on the support site.
Enable or Disable SMB Message Encryption
SMB3 adds the capability to make data transfers secure by encrypting data in-ight, to protect against tampering and eavesdropping
attacks. SMB message encryption can be enabled or disabled using the nas-cluster select cluster_name smb-protocol message-
encryption command in the Group Manager CLI. For more information about the CLI commands, see the Dell EqualLogic Group
Manager CLI Reference Guide, which is available on the support site.
Modify SMB Share NAS Antivirus Settings
A newly created or existing SMB share inherits the NAS clusterwide default antivirus settings. You can modify these settings on
individual SMB shares as needed. For example, you might want a specic Threat Action policy or you might want to exclude certain
directories from scans to improve performance.
If you uncongure the NAS antivirus service, you cannot modify the antivirus settings for SMB shares. However, if you subsequently
recongure the service, the settings that were previously in place are preserved.
To create specic NAS antivirus settings for a particular SMB share:
1. Click NAS, expand NAS Clusters and Local Containers, and then select the NAS container name.
2. Click the SMB Shares tab.
