Answer

Cluster LIF is assigned a private IP address, which is used for cluster communication. Therefore, only IPs within the same subnet can ping each other.
Ping command example:

::> net int show (network interface show) Logical Status Network Current Current Is Vserver Interface Admin/Oper Address/Mask Node Port Home ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------ ------------- ------- ---- Cluster fas2552-rtp-4a_clus1 up/up 169.254.xxx.101/16 fas2552-rtp-4a e0e true fas2552-rtp-4b_clus2 up/up 169.254.xxx.103/16 fas2552-rtp-4b e0e true cluster_mgmt up/up 10.xx.xx.20/24 fas2552-rtp-4b

::> ping 169.254.xxx.103 -node fas2552-rtp-4a -vserver Cluster -verbose -show-detail PING 169.254.xxx.103 (169.254.xxx.103) from 169.254.xxx.101: 56 data bytes ...

--- 169.254.xxx.103 ping statistics --- 20 packets transmitted, 20 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.037/0.050/0.068/0.007 ms

::> ping 169.254.xxx.103 -node fas2552-rtp-4a -verbose -show-detail PING 169.254.xxx.101 (169.254.xxx.101) from 10.xx.xx.20: 56 data bytes 36 bytes from 4.26.4.1: Destination Net Unreachable
