I am installing few rack servers to put in a new VMware data center. My focus is networking on the physical switch side.
Each server has two 10GbE nic cards for vDS to support multiple ports group. I am configuring it to use "route based physical nic load." I do not have a clear picture on physical switch configuration side. Let's say if I go with " Route based physical nic load" (LBT), what would I need to get configured on Cisco physical switch.
Do I still need EtherChannel trunk port on the physical switch or just trunk port? I was asked by the network team whether I need LAG, port channel/EtherChannel, etc. I would appreciate if you share/guide me some information.
Clik here to view.
