Aug 02, 2010New LTM setup question
Hi all,
My organization finally went out and purchased a new pair of 6900's for internal load balancing. I have good understanding on setting these up, but wondering what best practices are...

Aug 05, 2010Yes it does answer my question and I appreciate it. I'm still a little torn if I want to use trunks or not. It would be nice to have the interface redundancy on one box and use gateway fail safe for in case of a upstream switch failure. I just don't want to eat up all my ports right away. We do alot of segmentation. SO even though most of the servers will never drive a gig port, we like to run seperate cable segments to keep traffic isolated. Right off the bat, i'm going to be load balancing exchange 2010, microsoft OCS, and a dozen or so internal web apps. I probably will segment exchange on it's own 1 or 2 interfaces with OCS, our internal apps on another. If I use trunks thats 6 interfaces used up. I do have plenty left, and the SFP Ports. I will say, going from a 3400 platform to a 6900, it's nice to finally get some hardware with horsepower. I'm not sure if there are any issues with version 10.2. From what i've been reading on the forums out here it seems to be fairly stable.
