Network Card teaming Config

[darrel-lewis]

Hi

I am about to delpoy some Exchange clusters and they have teamed network adapters. Is there any special configurations to allow a server to have 2 connections in to a core switch. I am using 2 Cat6500 with native IOS.

Thanks

You will need to configure the 2 ports in your 6500 switch to be part of an etherchannel

Check to see if your server supports LACP(IEEE standard) or PAgP(Cisco proprietary).
