I'll try to simply provide you a solution with FAS2240-2HA.</P><P></P><P>You have 4 Ethernet ports on each controller. </P><P>Now, you want to use 3 protocols : CIFS/NFS/iSCSI. </P><P>The question is how are the N/W for these protocols divided ?</P><P></P><P>Your question is : How can you share NFS/iSCSI on 2 NICs and have 2 NICs free for CIFS. </P><P>Answer : You can share 2 different VLAN's ( NFS &amp; iSCS) on same LACP VIF by using VLAN Tagging feature. If that's what you are looking for. </P><P></P><P>Can you describe your architecture in more detail ?</P><P></P><P>Cheers !</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:00:25 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/NFS-and-iSCSI-on-same-NICs/m-p/40983#M3800 ogra 2012-09-17T10:00:25Z
