Displaying active connections in a cluster
You can display information about the active connections in a cluster to view the LIF, port, remote host, service, storage virtual machines (SVMs), and protocol used by individual connections.
About this task
Viewing the active connections in a cluster is useful in the following scenarios:
Verifying that individual clients are using the correct protocol and service on the correct node.
If a client is having trouble accessing data using a certain combination of node, protocol, and service, you can use this command to find a similar client for configuration or packet trace comparison.
For more information about this command, see the man page.
Example
The following command shows the active connections on the node node1:
cluster-1::> network connections active show -node node1

Name     Name:Local Port     Host:Port           Protocol/Service
