SMBv2 support needed in IBM i 7.1

Customer scan and find a network risk for SMBv1.
Refe to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=101946
SMBv2 is supported on V7R2 .but V7R1 still not
Now customer use R710 . for network security concern. custoemr strong ask support SMBv2 in R710
R710 will be EOS on 04/30/2018. Customer has 8 month to use it so they strongly ask R710 to suppot SMBv2


Use Case:

Being able to map network drives and exchange files with our IBM i servers has become a daily activity and it would be horrible to have to choose between security and productivity.
