New LTM setup question

thanks chris for the response. The way our network is setup, we connect the odd numbered hardware together and the even numbered hardware together. Example. F5-1 would connect to fw-1 and switch-1. F5-2 would connect to Fw-2 and switch-2. If i'm understanding trunks correctly, I would need to take say 1.1 and 1.2, trunk them together as a 2GB link. Plug one interface into sw-1 and one into sw-2. However, we generally don't connect our network that way. I was thinking of using vlan failsafe and not the trunks. If I had say 1.1 and 1.2 trunked plugged into the same switch, it doesn't give me an redundancy at the switch level. If Sw-1 went down, I would need to have failsafe enabled anyway if they were plugged into the same switch. Just wondering what common cabling scheme you see. Do most customers use the copper ports with trunks? I also have 8 sfp fiber ports available. I have a pair of 6900's with alot of ports that will be free, I want to allow for future growth but only see using maybe 4 interfaces to start.

 

 

Thanks again,,
