NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NFS, ONTAP — Question 11

A customer wants to replicate between their two NetApp ONTAP clusters but is concerned that replication traffic might slow down normal data traffic. They still have two unused network ports on every node. You recommend using dedicated ports for the Intercluster LIFs, and you are tasked with creating the Intercluster LIFs so that they are on dedicated ports at all times.
Which command must you use before creating InterCluster LIFs?

Answer options

• A. system services firewall policy create
• B. network interface failover-groups create
• C. network ipspace create -ipspace
• D. network interface service-policy create

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct command, 'network interface service-policy create', is necessary to set up a service policy that can be applied to the Intercluster LIFs, ensuring they are dedicated to the specified ports. The other options do not pertain to the creation of Intercluster LIFs or managing their dedicated ports, making them unsuitable for this task.
