Basicly, instead of just failover, we would like to utilize the speed of both ports while having the redundant features. Is a true standby state the only thing we can do with the second switch?</P> Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:56:21 GMT idata 2010-07-09T04:56:21Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/IMS-Redundant-Switch-Question/m-p/391350#M8553 <P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>I'm currently in the middle of setting up an Intel Modular Server and I have a question about how the switch redundancy using a second switching module in the system.</P><P></P><P>Is there anyway that we can LAG Port 1 from switch 1 to Port 1 from switch 2 or bond any of the switch ports of switch 1 with any of the switch ports of switch 2 (I'm refering to the external switch ports, not the internal ones)?
