Hello Youssef,
Thanks for your update.
In our scenario, the both LTMs are hosted in different datacenter. Each DC has Site-A & Site-B. The LTM is running in one-armed mode, in active/standby mode.
PROD-1 DC: ( VLAN 503, VLAN 504, VLAN 701, LTM uplinks connected to two different nexus switches and bundled together)
HQBUSXC101(LTM) --> HQBUSXR101(Nexus with VPC) --> Site-A
HQBUSXC101(LTM) --> HQBUSXR102(Nexus with VPC) --> Site-A
PROD-2 DC: ( VLAN 503, VLAN 504, VLAN 701, LTM uplinks connected to two different nexus switches and bundled together )
HQBUSXC201(LTM) --> HQBUSXR201(Nexus with VPC) --> Site-A
HQBUSXC201(LTM) --> HQBUSXR202(Nexus with VPC) --> Site-A
Now we need to merge the PROD-1 & PROD-2 Site-A LTMs , 2 physical chassis into 1 physical chassis and create the vCMP guest for LTMs.
I can create two trunk uplinks(with multiple VLAN ID) and connect each of them to PROD-1 and PROD-2 Nexus switches.
But on the VLAN interface, we need to add both trunk interface(with tagging) since both are sharing same VLAN ID.
For me, only the layer-2 configuration is unclear.
Since the Layer-2 is handled at HOST level, if you use same VLAN ID, how it differentiate the traffic between Guests? since the uplinks are connected to two different switches any L2 loop will happen?

Kannan.
