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?
To ensure Intercluster LIFs are bound to dedicated ports and used only for replication traffic, you must first create a service policy that defines the LIF's role (e.g., intercluster). The network interface service-policy create command allows you to specify that the LIF is intended strictly for intercluster services, ensuring it's isolated from data traffic.
