Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS

Answer

  • By default export-policy rules are not checked for CIFS access in ONTAP

::> set advanced

::*> vserver cifs options show -fields is-exportpolicy-enabled
vserver is-exportpolicy-enabled
------- -----------------------
svm1    false

  • ONTAP does provide the option to configure export-policy check for CIFS. When the CIFS option "is-exportpolicy-enabled" is true you do need to create export-policy rules for CIFS protocol access.
