Which two networking components must be configured to failover LIFs across subnets? (Choose two.)
To failover Logical Interfaces (LIFs) across subnets, two key networking components are typically required: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Virtual IP (VIP). BGP is used to handle the distribution of IP addresses and routing between networks, allowing for dynamic failover of services across different subnets. Meanwhile, a VIP provides a consistent address to clients regardless of the physical interface that is currently active, enabling failover capability across different network segments.

Some next-generation data centers use Network-Layer-3 mechanisms that require LIFs to be failed over across subnets. Beginning with ONTAP 9.5, VIP data LIFs and the associated routing protocol, border gateway protocol (BGP), are supported, which enable ONTAP to participate in these next-generation networks. narit.kl
