CIFS is always enabled on the NSA.

DESCRIPTION
Select the Static checkbox for the NSA to use fixed TCP/IP information. You
must fill in all of the following fields.
Type an IP address in this field.
Type an IP subnet mask in this field.
Type a default gateway address in this field.
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding
IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because
without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. If
you have the IP address(es) of the DNS server(s), enter them.
Select the checkbox to have the DHCP server automatically assign a DNS server
address to your NSA.
Select the checkbox to choose a static DNS server address. Type the DNS
server IP address(es) into the fields below.
Type a primary DNS server IP address.
Type a secondary DNS server IP address.
Jumbo frames improve network performance. You must have a 1 Gbps (Gigabit
Ethernet) network that supports jumbo frames. Select the largest size of frame
that all of your network devices (including computer Ethernet cards and switches,
hubs, or routers) support.
Note: If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that
does not support them, you will lose access to the NSA. If
this occurs, you will have to restore the factory default
configuration.
Use this section to test the network connection to a particular IP address or
domain name. Select an address or type it into the field. Then click Ping to have
the NSA send a packet to test the network connection. If the NSA is able to "ping"
the host, the network connection is OK.
Click Apply to save your TCP/IP configurations. After you click Apply, the NSA
restarts. Wait until you see the Login screen or until the NSA fully boots and then
use the NDU to rediscover it.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
