have collectively been useful in setting up Microsoft NLB cluster in multicast mode for single switch topology

Windows PCs on VLAN-A <------> Cisco 2960 <-------> vSphere server on VLAN-B

with ARP and MAC setings to be done on the Cisco switch

When it comes to multiple switch topology

Windows PCs on VLAN-A <------> Cisco 2960 <-------> Core Cisco 6509 <-------> vSphere server on VLAN-B

how these ARP and MAC setings are to be set on the core Cisco switch?


Thanks

Hong
