Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for discovering a network address translation (NAT) network connection with a data storage system. The method includes establishing, by a client device, a network connection with the data storage system via a target network address associated with the data storage system, retrieving over the network connection, by the client device, a set of private network addresses associated with a set of storage processors of the data storage system, comparing, by the client device, each private network address of the set of private network addresses associated with the set of storage processors with the target network address, and when the target network address is absent from the set of private network addresses associated with the set of storage processors as a result of the comparison, detecting, the network connection as being configured as a NAT mode network connection with the data storage system.
