Manage supported traffic in ONTAP

Contributors netapp-barbe netapp-aaron-holt netapp-aherbin

Over time, the way in which ONTAP manages the type of traffic supported on LIFs has changed.

  • ONTAP 9.5 and earlier releases use LIF roles and firewall services.

  • ONTAP 9.6 and later releases use LIF service policies:

    • ONTAP 9.5 release introduced LIF service policies.

    • ONTAP 9.6 replaced LIF roles with LIF service policies.

    • ONTAP 9.10.1 replaced firewall services with LIF service policies.

The method you configure depends on the release of ONTAP you are using.
