Defining File System Protocols

File system protocols are networking protocols that provide file system sharing services. The NAS cluster solution acts as a file system server by complying with the following protocols:

  • CIFS: The Common Internet File System is for Microsoft Windows users or other CIFS clients. Directories are shared using CIFS shares.
  • NFS: The Network File System protocol is for UNIX clients or services. It works at the NFS layer. Directories are shared using NFS exports.

The Protocol entries enable you to manage the CIFS and NFS protocols at the system level.
