In some situations, the IMM LAN over USB interface can conflict with certain network configurations, applications, or both.
For example, Open MPI (Message Passing Interface) attempts to use all the available network interfaces on a server. Open MPI detects the IMM LAN over USB interface and attempts to use it to communicate with other systems in a clustered environment. The LAN over USB interface is an internal interface, so this interface does not work for external communication with other systems in the cluster.
