Hello,

My network design suggests that one server should connect to both the core switches in load balancing mode. I don't have trunk in between the core switches. How do i configure NIC teaming for this design.

pleez help...

Bye

Could you possibly do two NIC teams each connected to separate switches? But if you have 2 ports available on each switch why don't you trunk?

In separating the teamed adapters you can do adaptive load balancing which works on outbound traffic. I'm guessing you want to load balance incoming traffic. So we're back to my opening paragraph, 2 teams or a trunk.

You should probably tell us hardware, OS, and purpose of the server, network hardware and configuration. Maybe someone has better or simpler ideas of how to accomplish what it is you want to do.
