Performance Solution

[Amin Shaikh]

Hello,

I have a Server with Two NIC.

One of the NIC of the Server is connected to 4500 Ethernet Module.

To improve the performance of the Server I would like connect the second NIC.

What is the best possible solution/configuration?

Friend,

You can configure etherchannel between the server and the switch by connecting another cable between the two.

you can also configure teaming with the 2 NICs

Using Etherchannel option what configuration is required on the Server Two nic.

Will there be Two IP address assigned on the server. { One IP for each interface }

some of my applications are hardcoded IP address.
