Thanks! So which one is managment then? I see dedicated managemnet iterface on all filers but 3020. Or do you manage over the data IP?

Unless you have some particular security requirements it should be OK to manage the filer over the data links. The amount of network traffic generated by management should be minor and won't interfere with data users.

Regarding security, it is probably better to secure the filer correctly regardless of the access method rather than relying on particular network addresses.
