LAG on clustered Viprion

 

The F5 deployment guide mentioned that 2 clusters can be created on a single Viprion chasis (4 blades) to allow redundancy. But if we do this, the maximum throughput for the Viprion will only be 20Gbps (10Gbps x 2).

 

 

Since the Viprion is able to balance processing between blades, i thought of clustering all 4 blades to a single cluster. If one blade fails, it shouldn't cause much trouble since the other 3 blades can take over the processing load. My main concern in, the external router is connected to only one of the 4 blades. If that particular blade is down, connection to the firewall is disrupted.

 

 

So, the question is, is it possible to configure LAG between 2 different ports on different blades? For example, combining one of the 10GE port on Blade-1 with another 10GE port on Blade-2.
