What an IPspace is

An IPspace defines a distinct IP address space in which vFiler units can participate. IP addresses defined for an IPspace are applicable only within that IPspace. A distinct routing table is maintained for each IPspace. No cross-IPspace traffic routing happens.

Note: IPspaces support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on their routing domains.

Each IPspace has a unique loopback interface assigned to it. The loopback traffic of each IPspace is completely isolated from the loopback traffic on other IPspaces.
