What HOST or routing model does ONTAP networking use after ONTAP 9.2?
Applies to
ONTAP 9.2 and later
Answer
- Starting on 9.2, ONTAP began using the weak-end host (routing) model
- As per RFC 4907:
In the Weak End System model, addresses refer to a host. As a
result, packets sent on an outgoing interface need not
necessarily have a source address configured on that interface,
and incoming packets whose destination address does not
correspond to the physical interface through which it is
received are accepted.
