When configuring NAS data LIFs for NFS and SMB, which IP address assignment methods are supported?

• A. Automatically assigned only
• B. Either manually or automatically assigned
• C. Dynamically assigned through DNS
• D. Manually assigned only

Answer: (B)

NAS data LIFs for NFS and SMB can be configured with either a manual (static) IP address or an automatic address assignment. This flexibility lets you choose a stable, fixed IP for predictable access, or allow the LIF to obtain an address from a DHCP server or IP pool for easier management in dynamic environments. DNS does not assign IPs to interfaces; it only resolves names to addresses. So the supported methods are manual or automatic assignment.
