Dell FluidFS NAS Solutions Administrator's Guide
LAN Or Client Network
After the initial configuration, a virtual IP (VIP) address connects the NAS cluster solution to the client or LAN network.
The VIP address allows clients to access the NAS cluster solution as a single entity, thereby providing access to the file system. It enables the NAS cluster solution to perform load balancing between controllers, and ensures that the service continues even if a controller fails.
The LAN or client network is comprised of ports on each controller, which connect to the LAN or client network switches. The NAS cluster solution is administered using the LAN or client network on the NAS Management VIP. For routed networks, the number of VIPs that serve the system depends on the number of client ports available to you, for example, a Dell Compellent FS8600 (1 GbE) with four appliances has 32 Client VIPs. For flat networks, only one client VIP is sufficient.
