protocol smb2 dfs enable
Configures the SteelHead to optimize Distributed File System (DFS) shares.
Syntax
[no] protocol smb2 dfs enable
Usage
DFS is a technology Microsoft uses for achieving high availability and logical distribution of files. DFS runs over SMB/SMB2 and allows clients to access files from secondary servers if the primary server goes down or from the server nearest to the client making the request. The default behavior is to forward the traffic with DFS capability to the server without providing latency optimization to the connections.
You configure this command on the client-side SteelHead and both client-side and server-side SteelHeads must be running RiOS 9.5 or later. You must enable SMB2/3 optimization before configuring this command.
This command is disabled by default. Restart the optimization service after running this command. For details on SMB2/3, see the SteelHead User Guide.
Example
amnesiac (config) # protocol smb2 dfs enable
