What SMB encryption is supported in ONTAP 9
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
 - CIFS
 
Answer
The SMB encryption supported in ONTAP 9 is as follows:
- AES-128-CCM encryption is supported(SMB 3.X)
 - AES-128-GCM encryption is supported(SMB 3.1.1)
 - AES-256-GCM encryption is not supported
 - AES-256-CCM encryption is not supported
 
Additional Information
The encryption support for protocols other than SMB (such as SSH, TLS, NFS, etc.) is as follows:
- For SSH, the following encryption methods can be specified:
 
aes256-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes128-ctr
aes256-cbc
aes192-cbc
aes128-cbc
3des-cbc
aes128-gcm
aes256-gcm
- AES-128-CCM is not supported for SSH.
 - Regarding TLS, a specific list of encryption methods is not provided, but the standard encryption methods used in TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are generally supported.
 - For NFS, a specific list of encryption methods is not provided, but encryption is supported in NFSv4.1 and NFSv4.2.
