Applies to

  • ONTAP System Manager (OSM) 9.7+
  • REST API

Answer

  • This feature is not available in Ontap releases prior to 9.12
  • Use case for subnets: 
  • Store unused IP addresses
  • Assist with the default gateways and other settings when subnet is selected and IP is manually entered
  • For releases prior to 9.12 use the CLI with -force-subnet-association true option:

net int create -vserver <vserver name> -lif <lif_name> -home-node <home_node> -address <lif_ip_address> -netmask <subnet_ip> -force-subnet-association true
