[Lustre-discuss] Fwd: question about routing between subnets

[Cliff White]

The MGS can be behind an lnet router. So, provided you have LNET routing set
up between
A and B, the MGS should be okay with only a subnet A address, clients on B
with proper
routing configuration should be fine.

The address on net C is thus immaterial.
