Managing the Client Networks
The client networks define the client VIPs through which clients access SMB shares and NFS exports. To ensure effective load balancing,
use the following recommendations to determine the number of client VIPs to define:
• If client access to the FluidFS cluster is not through a router (in other words, a flat network), define one client VIP per FluidFS cluster.
• If clients access the FluidFS cluster through a router, define a client VIP for each client interface port per NAS controller.
