Displaying Client Distribution
The client's distribution page displays only clients that belong to the same
subnet as the system (local clients). Clients that access the system through a
router (or layer 3 switches) are not displayed in this page; instead, the router
is displayed.
By default, the Clients tab displays a list of all the client connections. You can
narrow the list down and display connections for specific Protocol, Controller,
and Network.
The client connections table provides the following information.
Table 4-8. Client Connections Page
Field Description
Client/router IP The IP address of the client or router accessing the system.
Access using IP The IP address used to access the system.
Assigned interface The controller and network interface which were allocated for
this client or router (either automatically by the system or
manually by an administrator).
Current interface The controller and network interface currently assigned to
this client or router. The current interface can be different
from the assigned interface after automatic connection fail-
over. Depending on the Migration Policy, a connection that
was migrated from its assigned controller to another
controller, can remain on that controller. In such an event, the
current interface is different from the assigned interface.
Protocol The protocol that the client connection uses: CIFS, NFS, or
Other. PowerVault NX3500 identifies the clients accessing
with a recognized protocol, CIFS, or NFS and displays the
actual protocol. For other local clients, for example, routers,
the system displays the value 'Other' as the protocol.
