  • CIFS / SMB
  • Advanced Encyption Standard (AES)

Answer

Yes, you can modify the security options before creating the CIFS server on the vserver
 
Note: This will save time while creating multiple CIFS servers. If you create the CIFS server first, and then enable AES encryption, you will need to enter credentials again
 
Example:
 
cluster1::> cifs show -vserver <vserver_name>
There are no entries matching your query
cluster1::> cifs security modify  -vserver <vserver_name> -is-aes-encryption-enabled true
cluster1::> cifs security show -vserver <vserver_name>

Vserver: <vserver_name>
