Performance test on specific interface

Hi,

Is there a way to run a performance test on a specific interface? I have two arrays PROD and DR over a 10G. I would like to run a benchmark without going over the management interface. I am just looking to test the replication interface. Is there a way to do this through iperf3 or perhaps a workaround using nc or rsync?

Thanks,

    @macyero , you can use iperf3 to test the plumbng of your network. you have to use ifconfig or isi network interfaces list to get the IPs of the interfaces first

    https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000188735/using-iperf3-with-onefs?lang=en 

    example:

    If I use the zone name of the speific subnet that I want to test then that should test all of the interfaces through round-robin?

    @macyero ,  I have not tested that, but it should work.

    use pool SCZN, not subnet SCZN
