Configuring SMB File Acceleration
Use the following instructions to configure the Exinda Appliance to use the SMB optimization features. The SMB file
acceleration configuration has several options for managing transfers under a variety of situations.
1.
Go to
Configuration > System > Optimization
.
2.
On the right, select the
SMB
tab.
3.
Select, as needed, the
Enabled
check boxes for SMB1 and SMB2.
NOTE
Under the SMB1 section there are several options that you can use. The "Read Ahead" and "Read Behind" options,
however, relate only to SMB1 traffic. For the "Data to Prefetch" option, this again relates only to SMB1.
4.
In the
Acceleration Options
section complete the following, as needed:
a.
To prefetch data from the SMB server in anticipation of subsequent client requests, select
Read Ahead
.
b.
To update the SMB cache, aggregating requests to the SMB server, select
Write Behind
.
c.
To enable caching of SMB file attributes such as file access times and size, select
Meta-Data Caching
.
d.
In the
Data to Prefetch
field, specify the amount of SMB data to prefetch when performing read-ahead or
write-behind.
NOTE
The default value is 1024 kb. If you experience network latency with file transfers, for example if latency is greater
than 500 milliseconds, increase the amount of data being prefetched for the SMB1 cache.
5.
To accelerate digitally signed connections, in the
SMB Signing
area select
Enabled
.
