OES 2015 (and later) server and the SMB clients negotiate to determine the SMB dialect with the highest level of functionality that both the client and server support. However, SMB v2 (SMB 2.002) is the default protocol in OES 2015 and later.
If you set the protocol dialect SMB v2, the following configuration options will become invalid:
LM Compatibility Level
Unicode Support
Info Level Pass-through capability
If you set the protocol dialect to SMB v1, CIFS server will not enforce File System change notification.
IMPORTANT:Domain pass-through authentication is supported for backward compatibility only. When authentication mode is changed/set to Third party authentication, Clients can connect only with NT LM 0.12 (CIFS/SMB v1) protocol version/dialect. The default "dialect" option configured will automatically change to NT LM 0.12 (SMB v1), and will be updated in the /etc/opt/novell/cifs/cifs.conf file.

This is the standard/expected behavior on client side. Changes can be done on the client side to switch protocol and/or disable/enable certain port to use another port. For example Windows 8.1/10, if the client is modified to use SMB V1 then 139 port will work as well. |
