failover-groups

I have a problem with network interface failover-groups show There is a group that only sets node1 and the port is e0e, but there is node2 in other groups and uses the e0e port, I would like to ask if this is set correctly

If they are in the same layer 2 broadcast domain they should automatically merge together.

you can try this first

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli/network-port-reachability-repair.html#description

pick one of the ports, run the command and check again.

you can also manually merge them together but that does not guarantee they will work correctly. Check the switch config and verify port configuration there.

you may want to run

system node run -node * options cdpd.enable on

system node run -node * options LLDP.enable on

wait about three minutes then run:

net device-discovery show -port e0e

m see if that matches what your network guy says

(of course if CDP and LLDP) are both disabled on the switches this won’t work.

good luck. Let us know

If your node2 port e0e allows same vlans as node1 port e0e. You may add node2 port e0e to to same failover-group as node1 port e0e.
