Hi Everyone. I want to connect each of our servers into each of our 6500's to provide NIC/Switch redundancy. This is easy because most server NICs support redundancy teams and failover. The difficultly I have is I also want to get more bandwidth into the server by using Fast Etherchannel AS WELL. Ideally I would like to have 2 x 100Mbps links into each switch. This should result in 200Mbps Fast Etherchannel links into CiscoSwitch1 as active links and 200Mbps Fast Etherchannel links into CiscoSwitch2 as backup links. If both links into CiscoSwitch1 fail, then the backup NIC's become active and assumes the IP address of the failed NICs. I am trying to avoid having 2 IP addresses for the server if I can. I would have liked to have gone Gigabit ethernet but the $$$ were too high for management. Is this possible? Is anyone else doing this? Can anyone recommend a NIC vendor?
