Configuring CIFS clients

Complete the following steps to inform users about how to access the filer.


Step	Action
1	From the table from the CIFS client configuration, determine the connection methods that are correct for your CIFS clients.
2	If your CIFS clients can use methods 1, 3, and 4 to connect to the filer, inform your users of the filer's UNC path. The UNC path consists of a computer name and a share name in the following format: \\computer_name\share_name Example If the filer is named toaster and the directory that contains users' directories is shared with the name "home," the UNC path is \\toaster\home.
3	If your CIFS clients can use method 2 to connect to the filer, inform your users of the filer name so that they can locate the filer in Network Neighborhood. Results After you provide users with information about how to access the filer, they can connect to the filer, view directories, and read and write files.

Read Chapter 9, "About the Filer Software," to learn about the software that you received with the filer.
