NimbostratusARX configuration/network layout
Hi guys,
We have a pair of ARX2000's that I'm getting ready to setup. I want to
make sure I set them up properly. The following is how we're planning
on configuring the ARX's
5 port...

I don't see anything wrong with your idea, I can share how we are setup, per the advice of the F5 consultant.... We have twin 6509 core switches, configured in VSS, so both switches are logically one. Each one of our ARX's has a 8 member LACP arm to the core, four links to the primary, and 4 links to the secondary switch. All ARX traffic is sent thru this single interface "arm". For heart beat traffic we set up two links interconnecting the two ARX's. (direct ARX to ARX connection) In band managment is handled over the 8 member LACP team back to the core switches. Also worth nothing, we do not trunk these ports. They are access interfaces.
Hope this helps....
Harold
