NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP NAS — Question 7

While performing storage failover tests, you notice that a data LIF serving CIFS traffic is not reachable after takeover.
Which three statements are correct in this scenario? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. NAS LIFs do not fail over.
• B. A front-end switch configuration was missing.
• C. An incorrect firewall policy was assigned.
• D. No failover policy was assigned.
• E. Incorrect ports were in the broadcast domain.

Correct answer: C, D, E

Explanation

The correct statements are C, D, and E because an incorrect firewall policy can prevent access to the LIF, a lack of a failover policy means the LIF cannot switch over during a failover, and having incorrect ports in the broadcast domain can also hinder connectivity. Options A and B are incorrect; NAS LIFs can fail over, and the front-end switch configuration is not the main issue here.
