NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 61

Which statement about LIFs is true?

Answer options

• A. Cluster LIFs and data LIFs can share a port.
• B. One cluster-management LIF exists per node.
• C. One port can host multiple data LIFs.
• D. A data LIF can be associated with multiple SVMs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a single port can indeed host multiple data LIFs, allowing for efficient use of network resources. Option A is incorrect as cluster LIFs and data LIFs typically cannot share a port due to their different functions. Option B is wrong because although there is one cluster-management LIF per node, this does not pertain to data LIFs. Option D is incorrect as a data LIF is usually associated with only one SVM.
