Hello Everyone,

Does Cisco support NIC Teaming for Management interfaces on IPS Sensor 8350.

Hi,
I think nic teaming will not support for management interface.

Hello Abheesh,

Thanks for your fast response. Sorry for the mistake .. wanted to understand the below configuration:

1) NIC teaming for Management interface eth0 and eth1 on FMC 4000

2) and NIC teaming for sensor interfaces of 8350

If these are configurable..please would like to know how and the steps.

Regards,
Karthikeyan

Hi Karthi,
I dont think so the management interface can be teamed. But you can create portchannel in 8350 sensor.

Hello Abheesh, Thank you for the response. So if I understand this correctly, the Port channel setting is for the Inline interfaces on Sensor 8350? Also please guide me with the setup for port channel and related configuration. Thank you once again Regards, Karthik

Hi,
You cannot create protchannel when you are planning to deploy the sensor as inline. You can create portchannel for swithced and routed interface mode. Below is the reference link for interface configuration and deployment mode.
