Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me understand the benefit of the setup below. It was set up by a third party.
In this config, there are no overlapping IP address and there are 2 xSVMs which are members of the 'Default' IPspace
- The Default Broadcast Domain (BD) and Failover Group (FG) contains offline ports, so a redundant configuration
- The 'Cluster-Management' BD and FG contains both the physical and VLAN ports
- There is a dedicated BD and FG 'Data' for all of the physical ports in use
- The 'SVM%-Data' BD and FGs contain only the VLAN ports

- Is there any reason to deviate from using the 'Default' Broadcast Domain and Failover Group?
- Should the asscoated VLAN and physical ports that the LIFS are allowed to fail over to be contained in the same BD/FG?
Thanks
