Trunk ports for bandwidth and failover?

You can configure trunking and even use LACP.

 

 

From the GUI, it's under Network -> Trunks

Be aware that ion the cisco it's called a port-channel. On cisco, a trunk is an interface that handles tagged (802.1q) VLAN's

On the cisco it should be configured with something like

interface port-channel201
  description port-channel to an F5
  switchport
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport native vlan 999
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 
  switchport mode trunk

Then on the interfaces themselves you have something like

interface gi3/36
  description F5 interface 1
  switchport
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport native vlan 999
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 
  switchport mode trunk
  channel-protocol lacp
  channel-group 201 mode active

The native VLAN 999 just allows traffic on a particular VLAN is 802.1q headers are missing. You can add things like spanning-tree portfast etc or other embellishments as required.

Below is example config from the bigip_base.conf for an LACP trunk (V10.2):

trunk F5_TRUNK {
   lacp enable
   interfaces {
3.1
3.2
   }
}
stp instance 0 {
   trunks {
      F5_TRUNK {
         external path cost 20000
         internal path cost 20000
      }
   }
   vlans {
      F5_VLAN
   }
}
vlan F5_VLAN {
   tag 10
   trunks tagged F5_TRUNK
}
