Hi,
Where is your most likely point of failure or is bandwidth the issue. WIll
etherchannel work to the 2NICs. I don't know that the NT server will understand
Etherchannel.
In a study I did recently I found in a network that all the user areas went to a "main
core switch". The servers had two NIC's each going to a separate switch. The "backup
core switch" plugged into the main switch. There was still a single point of failure
to the users "the main core switch". Should the "main core switch" fail there would
be no network. The redundancy only covered the NIC's in this case nor did the second
NIC provide any load sharing.
Just some thoughts.
