File service - Sharing FE port for async and CIFS
Hello,
I have a customer who need to share a front end port for both CIFS/NFS file service AND for asynchornous replication.
Performances considerations aside, is that even possible?
Thank you!

you will be using different interfaces that can share the same physical port or LACP group

For Asynchronous Replication, the Replication Interfaces are dedicated IP-based connections between the systems that will carry the replicated data. The interfaces are defined on each SP using IPv4 or IPv6 addressing and will establish the required network connectivity between the corresponding SPs of the source and destination systems. The Replication Connection pairs together the Replication Interfaces between the source and destination systems. It also defines the replication mode between the systems; Asynchronous, Synchronous or both. The connection is also configured with the management interface and credentials for both of the replicating systems.
