max protocol (G) The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level that will be supported by the server. Possible values are : CORE: Earliest version. No concept of user names. COREPLUS: Slight improvements on CORE for efficiency. LANMAN1: First modern version of the protocol. Long filename support. LANMAN2: Updates to Lanman1 protocol. NT1: Current up to date version of the protocol. Used by Windows NT. Known as CIFS. Normally this option should not be set as the automatic negotiation phase in the SMB protocol takes care of choosing the appropriate protocol. See also min protocol Default: max protocol = NT1 Example: max protocol = LANMAN1
