Cluster IP addresses on Different Subnets

Hi Team,

Wondering if this scenario is applicable to Spark appliances? I have CP 1555 and 1575. I have single IP and wanted to build a cluster can someone confirm if I can build a cluster if I do not have 3 IP addresses on same subnet?

In theory it is supported. I've tested it for locally managed in the past but not for centrally managed as it wasn't relevant to that project.

I see - so to manage the cluster locally do I need a separate mgmt license? Would you please tell me the procedure?

No additional license is required for local management but if your environment is centrally managed otherwise I would suggest attempting that route first.

I believe this would be applicable generally.
