Issue

  • A LIF cannot reach the gateway or beyond when it is moved from node 1 to node 2
  • The lif can reach a same client in the same vlan
::*> network ping -lif lif_name -vserver vserver_name -destination client_IP_in_same_vlan -verbose true -show-detail true
PING 10.1.1.5 (10.1.1.5) from 10.1.1.40: 56 data bytes
to 10.1.1.40 64 bytes from 10.1.1.5: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.190 ms
 
  • The LIF cannot reach a different network/gateway that is in a different subnet, the network is unreachable:
::*> network ping -lif lif_name -vserver vserver_name -destination gateway_IP -verbose true -show-detail true (ctrl + c to stop the command)
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
 
  • The LIF cannot reach beyond the gateway to an external client :
::*> network ping -lif lif_name -vserver vserver_name -destination client_IP -verbose true -show-detail true
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
