  • Patent number: 9537827
    Abstract: A method includes binding, using a plurality of processors, a process to a wildcard address and a port on each of a plurality of nodes. The process receives, on a redirector node, a first request for a first address of a first volume located on the cluster from a first client. The first request is sent to the port and a first address associated with a first virtual local area network (VLAN) that is not the wildcard address. The process determines the first address from the first request and a name of the first VLAN based on the first address. The process determines a first node that contains information regarding the first volume and an address of the first node that is part of the first VLAN. The process determines that a volume identifier associated with the first volume of the first request is present on a volume list.
