Dell EMC Technical White Paper
Even though CIFS protocol is replaced with SMB2 protocol at the backend, the interfaces (iDRAC and LC
GUI) still display the name CIFS. Example are shown in the following images.
Note: Dell EMC recommends updating the iDRAC firmware and other firmware such as BIOS, network card,
and so on, to latest versions. Updating the firmware provides the security benefits of SMB2 protocol.
