Checking SMB Version

By Jessica Wood

Is there a command like Get-SmbConnection in Windows to check what version of smb protocol I'm currently using on my share points?

1 Answer

To see your SMB versions that are being used run the following command on the server:

sudo smbstatus

Example:

terrance@Intrepid:~$ sudo smbstatus
Samba version 4.3.11-Ubuntu
PID Username Group Machine Protocol Version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11898 nobody nogroup 10.0.0.100 (ipv4:10.0.0.100:50612) SMB3_02
Service pid machine Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
IPC$ 11898 10.0.0.100 Wed Jun 20 21:07:28 2018
storage 11898 10.0.0.100 Wed Jun 20 21:07:28 2018
No locked files

As we can see by the above, one of my Linux boxes is connecting using SMB3.0.2 protocol version.

Hope this helps!
