Which of the following statements about logical ports for Huawei OceanStor all-flash storage devices is NOT true?

• A. Logical ports are created based on bond ports, VLAN ports, or Ethernet ports.
• B. Logical ports are virtual ports that carry host services.
• C. An IP address is assigned to each logical port for services.
• D. Different logical ports can have the same IP address.

Answer: (D)

Logical ports on Huawei OceanStor are virtual interfaces created from bond ports, VLAN ports, or Ethernet ports, and they carry the host services exposed by the storage system. Each logical port acts as its own network endpoint, so it is assigned its own IP address to provide access to the corresponding service. If two different logical ports were allowed to share the same IP address on the same network, devices would be unable to distinguish which port to reach, leading to ambiguous routing and ARP conflicts. To ensure reliable access and proper service separation, each logical port must have a unique IP address within its subnet. Therefore, the statement that different logical ports can have the same IP address is not true. The other points—logical ports being derived from bond, VLAN, or Ethernet ports, and carrying host services with an IP per port—remain accurate.
