Hi there,
I'd like to know how to setup my 2 switchs (HP Procurve 2810) to have the "better" performance and failover. They are stacked using one ETH port (Fibre in future)
My 3 ESX servers have 4 ETH links, 2 per physical switch
ESX1 = Switch 1 port1 + port2 / Switch2 port1 + port2
ESX2 = same as above but 3/4
ESX3 = same with 5/6
Do i have to activate TRUNK in the physical switchs between S1.1 / S1.2 / S2.1 / S2.2 ? or let them configured as default ?
For ESX1 :
Switch1(config)# trunk 1,2 trk1 trunk
Switch2(config)# trunk 1,2 trk1 trunk
and repeat for ESX2 and 3 :
trunk 3,4 trk2 trunk
trunk 5,6 trk3 trunk
And how to set my vSwitchs NIC Teaming options for the LoadBalancing (IP Hash or not) ?
Thanks for your comments
