According to NetApp best practices, which type of LIF routing is required to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. cluster LIF
• B. data LIF

• D. intercluster LIF

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, data LIF, as it is used for data traffic and allows access to storage services across different networks.
