List of protocols the vFiler unit can support (allow). Protocols not selected will not be supported.
By default, vFiler units can use the protocols that are licensed for the hosting storage system. For example, if the hosting storage system is licensed for CIFS and NFS, the vFiler units created can also use the CIFS and NFS protocols.
If CIFS or NFS is running before you disallow the protocol, it continues to run until the storage system reboots. Disallowing a protocol, however, causes packets for that protocol destined for that vFiler unit to be ignored.
After you allow the protocol again, the vFiler unit resumes processing the packets for that protocol.
If CIFS or NFS is not running and you try to enable it when it is disallowed, an error message appears.
After you allow the protocol again, enabling the protocol is necessary to ensure that the packets for the protocol are processed.
After you disallow rsh, attempts to connect to the vFiler unit using rsh fail, regardless of the rsh option setting on the storage system.
After you allow rsh again, you can connect to the vFiler unit using rsh if the rsh option on the storage system is set to On.
Allowing or disallowing rsh has no effect on the rsh option on the storage system. In addition, you can enable or disable the rsh option, regardless of whether rsh is allowed.
