Issue

  • After LIF failover (e.g. ONTAP upgrade) CIFS clients cannot access data via either \\hostname or \\ip
  • ActiveIQ detects Risk Signature: 2226
    • Risk: All ports in a broadcast domain should be on the same layer 2 network.
    • Details: Broadcast domains(s) "<name>" contains port from multiple vlans.
  • LIF is in broadcast domain that contains multiple VLANs
