What type of LIF is used to replicate between two clusters?

Options

Anode
Bcluster
Cintercluster
Dcluster-mgmt
Edata

Explanation

Intercluster LIFs are the dedicated logical interfaces used to establish cluster peering and carry replication traffic between two separate ONTAP clusters.

Common mistakes.

A. Node management LIFs are used for individual node administrative access and are not designed or used for inter-cluster replication traffic.
B. Cluster LIFs operate on the private cluster interconnect network to handle intra-cluster communication between nodes, and cannot be used for external cluster-to-cluster replication.
D. Cluster-management LIFs provide a single administrative access point for the entire cluster but carry no replication traffic between clusters.
E. Data LIFs are intended to serve client I/O requests and are not used for inter-cluster replication or cluster peering communications.
