Answer

  • No, when moving to a different NetApp cluster, the system does not send a Gratuitous ARP (GARP) for the relevant IP address to devices on the same broadcast domain.
  • Instead, the destination will update the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) based on the replication information when the destination Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) becomes active.
  • It is essential that the source and destination clusters support the same IP subnet for data Logical Interface (LIF) access.
