CIFS = Common Internet File System
SMB = Server Message Block



You use CIFS if you want to mount a Windows network share.
You use SMB if you want to share printers etc. with Windows computers.



How to use CIFS and SMB in details is big task to answer so you will have to go hunting your self.



You have probably the Samba client or server installed.
