Re: IP Setup of Exanic Exablaze for Cisco 3550-F Layer 1 Switching

Reha Diri · ‎10-22-2023

Hello ,

We have the layer1 setup shown in the picture. We have Cisco 3550-F Layer 1 switch for the switch and EXANIC Exablaze as the server interfaces.

If we use only one interface in the server 1 and server 2, and make these two interface ip and mac addresses exactly the same it looks that the setup is working. Ip packet returning from the Financial Organization copied to all the downstream fastmux ports and related server takes care.

The other party organization forwards all the packets for our subnet by using a single L3 ip address (10.164.148.126/30). Using a second or third interface in any server seems that this won't work because we can't set the ( 10.164.148.126/30 ) again. Is there a solution for using all the other Exanic interfaces in this setup.

Thanks

Regards

Any comments from experienced layer 1 engineers ? If exists, low level Exanic Api solutions also accepted.

Thanks
