NAME

cifs_nbalias.cfg – configuration file for CIFS NetBIOS aliases

SYNOPSIS

/etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg

DESCRIPTION

The configuration file /etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg is used to configure NetBIOS aliases for the filer. A NetBIOS alias allows the filer to be accessed by a CIFS client using an alternate name for the filer.

EXAMPLE

This is a sample /etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg file with one NetBIOS alias.

   #   # This file contains NetBIOS aliases used by the filer.   # See the System Administrator’s Guide for a full   # description of this file.   #   # There is a limit to the number of aliases that may be specified.   # Currently that limit is 200.   #   # Aliases must be entered one per line.   #   # After editing this file,  use the console command “cifs nbalias load”   # to make the filer process the entries in this file.   #   # Note that the “#” character is valid in a CIFS NetBIOS alias.   # Therefore the “#” character is only treated as a comment in this   # file if it is in the first column.   #   # Actual NetBIOS alias name(s) for the filer follow this line.
