You are asked by your network engineering team to make sure that your NetApp cluster is configured to run LACP on Its network ports. Which network component satisfies this request?
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is a protocol that enables the bundling of several physical ports into a single logical port to provide higher bandwidth, load balancing, and redundancy. An interface group is a network component that supports LACP on NetApp clusters. An interface group can combine two or more physical ports into a single logical port and can be configured with different policies, such as multimode, multimode_lacp, or singlemode. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical segmentation of a network that allows devices to communicate as if they were on the same physical network, regardless of their physical location. A broadcast domain is a logical division of a network in which all nodes can reach each other by broadcasting. A failover group is a set of network ports that can take over the traffic of another port in case of a failure.
