I am trying to mount a windows samba share on CentOS and RHEL 6 machines, but gives following error.
~]# mount.cifs //example.com/Linux_Support /mnt -o credentials=/root/cifsauth,noserverino,vers=3.0
mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Messages logs has this error:
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
The same above command works in rhel7 and centos7. Any clue on how to make this work?

I found this link here which says SMB 2 and 3 is not supported for rhel and Centos 6. It can only mount SMB1. From Centos and rhel 7 this is supported.
