Learn about ONTAP SMB

ONTAP file access features are available for the SMB protocol. You can enable a CIFS server, create shares, and enable Microsoft services.

SMB (Server Message Block) refers to modern dialects of the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. You will still see CIFS in the ONTAP command-line interface (CLI) and in OnCommand management tools.
