Re: FastEtherchannel using Compaq Servers

[Dir]

You do not need trunking on the ports to get them to work together... it's a
channel you need to configure. Since your subject includes FastEtherChannel,
I presume you already knew this? But you do not mention it in your message?
Sometimes there is a confusion between trunking and channeling. The first
one is to transport traffic of multiple VLANs over one link. The later one
is to group several physical links together into a logical link with a
greater capacity.
Do you have a channel configured which includes the two ports connected to
the Compaq?

Hope this helps,
Dirk

Hello Everyone,
One of my students has a compaq server with 2 nics, each configured on the
Cisco 6500 switch.  The Trunking is 802.1Q
Both ports are configured identically but only one port works.  Both ports
are to work together to achieve the throughput speed.
Spanningtree is off as it is supposed to and full duplex is turned on.

Can anyone help or have suggestions?

Re: Can I implement HSRP on C2500 series router?

[Dir]

In fact you can use HSRP on the 2500 series. Thing is that they do not
support virtual MAC addresses (as you said), this is only supported on the
7000 series (or higher). This means that one of the routers (depending on
the priority) will respond to the ARP request of the clients with its own
MAC address. If this router fails, then the other one will take over, ie
respond with its own MAC address to the ARP request to the (virtual) IP
address of the HSRP group.
You can figure out the problem: as long as the MAC address of the first
router is in the ARP cache of the client, nothing will work if the router
fails, even if the second one takes over. It takes a new arp request to the
'new' MAC address of the HSRP group for things to start working again.
Hope this clears things out a bit?

Hi all,

The subject line say it allCan I implement HSRP on a pair of C2500
routers? I read somewhere that it cannot be done because something to do
with of the virtual MAC address..

But when I go into the C2500 routers, it has the HSRP command "ip
standby"

Thanx...Best Regards...
