ONTAP 9.1RC1 on 6-node cluster
HI,
I just notice on my cluster, an SVM has the following routes:
ntap01::> network route show
Vserver Destination Gateway Metric
------------------- --------------- --------------- ------
vs1
0.0.0.0/0 172.25.0.1 20
0.0.0.0/0 192.168.87.1 20
The SVM has LIFs on these two subnets (one for data and the other for backup traffic). I am wondering the above routes pose any risks espeicially they both have same metric value. Is it smart enough to know that if the LIF is on 172.25.0.0 subnet, use the 1st route for outgoing traffic and if the LIF is on 192.168.87.0 subnet, use the 2nd route?
Thanks,

Hi,
ONTAP uses source-address based routing in which the subnet matching the source is preferred route.
use subnet route of 20.20.20.0/24 to reach destination 20.20.20.1.
