multiple interfaces on a single VLAN
Hello F5'ers,
I've taken it for granted that it just works, but was questioned by a non-F5 colleague and couldn't provide qualified answer or cite documentation....
"TMOS Management Guide for BIG-IP Systems", Chapter 7, section "Related configuration tasks":
"When you assign multiple interfaces to a single VLAN, traffic destined for a host in that VLAN can travel through any one of these interfaces to reach its destination"
Questions (assuming STP hadn't blocked all):
1. How is outgoing traffic distributed - would ARPs be sent out on both interfaces?
2. How is returning traffic distributed (towards Clients) when AutoLasthop is disabled?
3. If a multicast/broadcast arrives on one interface, would F5 forward it onto second interface?
Thanks.
