Displaying active connections by LIF on a node and SVM

You can display a count of active connections for each LIF, by node and storage virtual machine (SVM), to view connection imbalances between LIFs within the cluster.

About this task

The count of active connections by LIF is useful in the following scenarios:

  • Finding an overloaded LIF by comparing the number of connections on each LIF.

  • Verifying that DNS load balancing is working for all data LIFs.

  • Comparing the number of connections to the various

    SVMs to find the SVMs that are used the most.
Display a count of active connections for each LIF by SVM and node by using the network connections active show-lifs command.

For more information about this command, see the man page.

Example

cluster-1::> network connections active show-lifs
