Sep 19, 2011Hi Bhattman,
thanks, but my issue isn't with Trunks - LTM allows multiple Interfaces (multiple Trunks, too) associated with a VLAN.. The question is - how does TMM distribute outgoing traffic among the Interfaces (and Trunks)?
Re: "3. If a multicast/broadcast arrives on one interface, would F5 forward it onto second interface?" - I think I can answer this myself - as per F5 SOL9310: "By default, LTM functions as an L2-only switch, flooding frames addressed to L2 multicast addresses across all interfaces in the VLAN but the origin." Since broadcast is a general type of multicast, then for both cases, LTM will forward them onto other interfaces.
R's, Alex
