Hey guys,
I have a quick question, but first let me give you my setup.
We are currently implementing a new m1000e chassis with 2 Force10MXL switches. Both of the switches are in the b fabrics. I have F10a(left B fabric) going to our N7k with port-channel 7, while F10b (right B fabric) going to our N7k with a port-channel of 8. There is no stacking between the two F10's, but are up and running active/active (with no live servers on them yet)
I am kind of confused because we have 4 servers in there (not live yet) and they are showing:
F10-A#show ip int brie
Interface IP-Address OK Method Status Protocol
TenGigabitEthernet 0/1 unassigned YES None up up
TenGigabitEthernet 0/2 unassigned YES None up up
TenGigabitEthernet 0/3 unassigned YES None up up
TenGigabitEthernet 0/4 unassigned YES None up up
Sw2:
F10-B#show ip int brie
Interface IP-Address OK Method Status Protocol
TenGigabitEthernet 0/1 unassigned YES None up up
TenGigabitEthernet 0/2 unassigned YES None up up
TenGigabitEthernet 0/3 unassigned YES None up up
TenGigabitEthernet 0/4 unassigned YES None up up
My question is I know both switches see the ports. How does the server know which port to go out? Is this configured within the server, or in the F10? Do I have to stack the 2 F10's with a stacking cable?
