What we want, is to have CIFS to be accessible on the lan through the 4 phys
cards, with two double paths
over the 2 switches.
If possible, the 2 double paths should work as 4 paths when everything is ok,
and not just 2 alternative
paths in failover mode.
This is not possible to do this using DLMP or IPMP and have all 4 paths carrying
load. The only way to do that is to have a 4-way aggregation across both
switches (with
or without IPMP) and choose the best load balancing policy to spread the
workload across
multiple clients.
If I were to translate that into Cisco speak, it would be a LACP VPC of
4 links, 2 on each switch going to 4 ports on the server that bonded all
four ports into a single LACP interface?
