BIGIP and VLAN Trunks

BIG-IP supports 802.3ad (LACP) under Trunks in the GUI, and then multiple VLANs can be tagged (802.1q) on a trunk.

Thanks

 

So does that mean,

 

 

1. I can have multiple interfaces from the loadbalancer connect to the layer 2 switch while binding them to the same VLAN for redundancy (EtherChannel).

 

2. I can make multiple VLANs to be carried through multiple interfaces of the loadbalancer to a layer 3 switch outside to the outer world.

 

 

TIA

EtherChannel is Cisco proprietary, so not exactly. You will have to use LACP (802.3ad) instead, which does more or less the same thing. You can assign any VLAN to any interface (including an LACP trunk) by defining the VLAN tag and then adding a tagged interface to the VLAN.
