NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 53

You are attempting to establish a SnapMirror relationship between your ONTAP cluster (AcmeClus01) and a partner company's ONTAP cluster (WidgetsClus01).
The clusters are unable to establish a peering relationship. You perform a packet capture on WidgetsClus01 and do not see any packets from AcmeClus01. You also discover that the IP subnet that is used for WidgetsClus01's intercluster LIFs overlaps with a local subnet at your company.
In this scenario, which feature would enable AcmeClus01 and WidgetsClus01 to peer with each other?

Answer options

• A. VLANs
• B. broadcast domains
• C. IPspaces
• D. ONTAP subnets

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, IPspaces, because IPspaces allow the separation of overlapping IP addresses into different logical networks. This enables AcmeClus01 and WidgetsClus01 to communicate without conflicts. The other options, such as VLANs and broadcast domains, do not address the issue of overlapping IP subnets directly.
