Managing the Client Networks

The client networks dene the client VIPs through which clients access SMB shares and NFS exports. To ensure eective load

balancing, use the following recommendations to determine the number of client VIPs to dene:

• If client access to the FluidFS cluster is not through a router (in other words, a at network), dene one client VIP per FluidFS

cluster.

• If clients access the FluidFS cluster through a router, dene a client VIP for each client interface port per NAS controller.
