NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 51

You have an Internet of Things (IoT) application that will use SMB shares on a remote ONTAP Select instance. There are no name services and only a local network is available at the remote IoT site.
In this scenario, which two features are supported by ONTAP software for the IoT application? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SMB3 Witness protocol
• B. SMB Server in workgroup mode
• C. Active Directory users
• D. CIFS local users

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The SMB Server in workgroup mode (B) allows access without the need for Active Directory, making it suitable for a local network setup. CIFS local users (D) are also supported in this environment, as they can authenticate locally without requiring external services. The other options, SMB3 Witness protocol (A) and Active Directory users (C), are not applicable due to the lack of name services and the specific requirements of the IoT application.
