NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 63

Your customer wants to know more about the network configuration within the cluster.
In this scenario, which statement is correct about a LIF?

Answer options

• A. A LIF is a port that provides physical connections.
• B. A LIF is created within a broadcast domain and contains a pool of IP address.
• C. A LIF is an IP address or a WWPN that is associated with a port.
• D. A LIF separates network domains to access cluster data.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a LIF (Logical Interface) is specifically defined as an IP address or a WWPN linked to a specific port for network communication. Option A is incorrect because a LIF is not merely a physical port. Option B is misleading as it implies a broader context that does not accurately define a LIF. Option D is also incorrect since a LIF does not function to separate network domains, but rather to facilitate access.
