Answer

NO. If two nodes already have intercluster LIFs configured and can communicate with each other using these LIFs, there is no need to create new intercluster LIFs for a new peer connection. You can proceed with establishing the peer relationship using the existing intercluster LIFs as long as they are reachable from each other.
