NS0-157 Question #350: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: Node-management LIF. This question identifies which LIF types in clustered ONTAP support user-defined failover groups, distinguishing between flexible and fixed failover policy LIFs.

Question

Which of the following types of LIFs can be assigned a user-defined failover group? (Choose all that apply)

Options

ACluster LIF
BNode-management LIF
CCluster management LIF
DNAS Data LIF (NFS,CIFS)
ESAN Data LIF (iSCSI, FC)

Explanation

This question identifies which LIF types in clustered ONTAP support user-defined failover groups, distinguishing between flexible and fixed failover policy LIFs.

Common mistakes.

A. Cluster LIFs use a fixed failover policy restricted to cluster-interconnect ports and cannot be assigned to user-defined failover groups.
E. SAN data LIFs (iSCSI and FC) do not support LIF migration-based failover groups because iSCSI relies on session reconnect and FC relies on port binding rather than transparent LIF failover.

Concept tested. LIF failover group assignment eligibility by LIF type
