How do I identify the physical ports that are behind v0a ports

Hello community,

I have bgp enabled cluster on which the data lifs are hosted on v0a ports , since I've made the physical connections I know which backend physical ports are used to make up v0a port but I'm unable to figure out a command which can display that info for me.

These are physical ports that are behind
cluster01::*> ifgrp show -ifgrp a0b,a0c -node cluster01a
Port Distribution Active
Node IfGrp Function MAC Address Ports Ports
-------- ---------- ------------ ----------------- ------- -------------------
cluster01a
a0b ip 05:b0:77:eg:kf:ab full e1a, e3a
a0c ip 05:b0:77:eg:kf:ac full e1e, e3e

cluster01::*> net int show -lif node02_lif6 -fields home-port
(network interface show)
vserver lif home-port
------- ---------------- ---------
db node02_lif6 v0a

Any help is much appreciated .

Hi @ArjunChristopher2

Not sure if this is what you are looking at, but take a look at this KB Article - https://kb.netapp.com/onprem/ontap/da/NAS/How_to_determine_where_you_can_create_a_VIP

Also, some more info in our docs that might point you in the right direction - https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/networking/configure_virtual_ip_@vip@_lifs.html#manage-bgp-configuration

Hope this helps!
