NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – BlueXP — Question 58

You are setting up a new AFF A400 that will serve iSCSI LUNs. You will have four iSCSI SVMs that each need to connect to an Internet Storage Name Service
(iSNS) for discovery and management purposes.
In this scenario, which network interface is needed for each SVM to register with the name service?

Answer options

• A. SVM data LIF
• B. SVM management LIF
• C. node management LIF
• D. intercluster LIF

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, intercluster LIF, as it is used for communication between SVMs and services like iSNS. The other options, such as SVM data LIF and SVM management LIF, do not facilitate registration with the name service, while node management LIF is specific to node-level management tasks.
