Cabling 2 LTM's to one router
I am trying to design a setup like the one below and need some assistance on how to make the connections:
+----------+
+------+ Router +-----+
| +----------+ |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+----------+ +-----------+
| LTM01 +-----------+ LTM02 |
+----------+ +-----------+
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| +--------------+ |
+----+ Linux Server +---+
+--------------+
My questions are:
-
How do I setup the connection to the upstream router?
- Do I tell the router is an LACP LAG or just two independent connections?
- Do I do anything special on the LTM's?
-
How do I setup the connection to the internal Linux server?
- Do I tell the server that its a LACP LAG? If not, how do I keep from getting a split route?
- Do I do anything special on the LTM's?
For what its worth, the Linux box has fail-open NIC's in it and will be connected to a pair of MLAG'ed switches farther down stream (LACP LAG on the Linux end).

You are not really achieving redundancy as there is a single point of failure at the router/server level. I would recommend using a pair of routers and/or a pair of switches instead of the server, if you can make it happen financially.
