Can we setup seperate subnet/pool in Isilon for communication to Cloudpool destnation

We have OneFS version 8.

Currently our network on Isilon is composed of 2 subnets under the groupnet as listed below:

1. Mgmt Subnet

     - Mgmt IP pool

2. Prod subnet

     - SMB IP pool

     - NFS IP pool

Each Isilon node has 2 aggregated NICs in prod IP pools & 2 aggregated NICs in mgmt pool.

We are now initializing Cloudpools. Cloudpools is being provided by a vendor that uses Isilon nodes to provide cloudpool.

We want to connect directly to this vendor rather then going through the firewall.

So a new Vlan is being created that will extend to the vendors data center.

I am thinking of adding another subnet and another IP pool for the communication to Cloudpool provider.

This will use the same aggregated NICs as the "Prod subnet" IP pool.

Also, static route will be added to ensure that communication to cloudpool provider goes through this subnet.

Will this work for SMB shares as those are the ones that we will archive to cloudpool?

Thanks & Regards,
