Applies to

ONTAP 9.2 and later

Answer

  • Starting on 9.2, ONTAP began using the weak-end host (routing) model

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.
