What LIF on cDOT will be used to connect to AD domain/DC servers?

netappmagic — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:44:36 GMT

We need to open firewall to have cDOT to connect to AD domain, but what LIF/IP will be used to talk to the external server?

and also what ports need to be opened?

Firwaall Admin needs to know this information.

Should it be cluster management LIF, nodes mgmt LIF's, or ...

cDOT 8.2

Thank you!

Sessions established to NIS, LDAP, AD, WINS, DNS, NDMP, iSNS/Radius servers use any of the Data LIFs per vserver on
the node.
