NetApp Exam NS0-593 Topic 2 Question 69 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 69
Topic #: 2
[All NS0-593 Questions]

You are attempting to connect a NetApp ONTAP cluster to a very complex network that requires LIFs to fail over across subnets.

How would you accomplish this task?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A LIF (Logical Interface) is a logical entity that represents a network connection point on a node1.

A VIP LIF (Virtual IP LIF) is a LIF that can fail over across subnets within an IPspace2.

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a routing protocol that enables VIP LIFs to advertise their IP addresses to external routers and to update the routing tables when a failover occurs3.

To connect a NetApp ONTAP cluster to a complex network that requires LIFs to fail over across subnets, you need to configure VIP LIFs using BGP on the cluster and on the external routers3.

This way, you can ensure that the network traffic is routed to the optimal node and port for each VIP LIF, and that the network connectivity is maintained in the event of a node or port failure3.Reference:

I'm not sure, but I think option D could work if we want to keep failover policies separate for each subnet.

I disagree, I believe option C is better as BGP provides more flexibility in routing decisions.

Ha! Looks like we've got a classic networking brain-teaser here. I'm gonna go with option C - who doesn't love a good BGP setup, am I right?

I think option B is the best choice because OSPF can handle complex network configurations.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option D seems like it might be a bit of a hack, but it could work if the network is really complex. I'd have to do some more research on that one.

I think B) Configure VIP LIFs using OSPF would be the best option for this scenario.

Option B sounds good to me. OSPF is a pretty standard protocol for this kind of networking scenario, and it should work well with the VIP LIFs.

Configuring VIP LIFs using OSPF seems like the best option here. It will ensure smooth failover across the complex network.

I agree, OSPF is a reliable choice for this setup. It will help with the failover across subnets.

I think option C is the way to go. Configuring VIP LIFs using BGP seems like the most robust and reliable way to handle failover across subnets.
