ONTAP 9.14.1 commands

Use this parameter to specify the Vserver on which the LIF to be modified is located.

Use this parameter to specify the name of the LIF that is to be modified

Use this parameter to modify the service policy associated with the LIF.

Use this parameter to modify the LIF’s IP address.

Use this parameter to modify the LIF’s netmask.

Use this parameter to modify the length (in bits) of the LIF’s netmask.

Use this parameter to allocate the interface address from a subnet. Modifying this parameter will cause a new IP address to be allocated and assigned to the interface.

Use this parameter to modify the LIF’s home node. The home node is the node to which the LIF returns when the network interface revert command is run on that LIF.

Use this parameter to modify the LIF’s home port. The home port is the port or interface group to which the LIF returns when the network interface revert command is run on that LIF.

Use this parameter to modify the administrative status of the LIF. The administrative status can differ from the operational status. For example, if you specify the status as up but a network problem prevents the interface from functioning, the operational status remains as down .

Use this parameter to modify the failover policy for the LIF.

Use this parameter to modify whether a data LIF is reverted automatically to its home port under certain circumstances. These circumstances would include startup, when the status of the management database changes to either master or secondary, and when the network connection is made.

Use this parameter to modify the unique, fully qualified domain name of the DNS zone to which this data LIF belongs. You can associate a data LIF with a single DNS zone. All data LIFs included in a zone must be on the same Vserver. If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the data LIF is created with the value none .

Use this parameter to specify if the LIF has to listen for DNS queries. The default value for this parameter is true.

Use this parameter to modify the load balancing weight of the data LIF. A valid load balancing weight is any integer between 1 and 100. If you specify the same load balancing weight for all data LIFs in a DNS zone, client requests are uniformly distributed, similar to round-robin DNS. A data LIF with a low load balancing weight is made available for client requests less frequently than one that has a high load balancing weight.

Use this parameter to modify the name of the failover group to associate with the network interface. Manage failover groups using the network interface failover-groups command. Each broadcast domain has a default failover group which is created by the system automatically and has the same name as the broadcast domain. The failover group associated with the broadcast domain includes all ports in the broadcast domain. A logical interface’s failover group is set to the failover group of the home port’s broadcast domain by default, but this value can be modified.

Use this parameter to modify the comment associated with the LIF.

This command will fail if the IP address falls within the address range of a named subnet. Set this to true to acquire the address from the named subnet and assign the subnet to the LIF.

If this parameter is set to true , then dynamic DNS update is sent to the DNS server for the particular LIF entry if dynamic DNS updates are enabled for the corresponding Vserver. This field is set to true by default for both IPv4 and IPv6 LIFs. DNS Update is not supported on LIFs not configured with either the NFS or CIFS protocol.

Defines RDMA offload protocols required by the LIF. A non-empty list will ensure that this LIF can only be moved to network ports that support the specified RDMA offload protocols.
