  • 1.  Is VPC reuqired for LBT

    Posted Dec 09, 2019 07:03 AM

    Hi,

    If I have one host connected with 2 pNIC connected to two different physical switches. Load balancing is LBT and active active for nic failover order. Do I need VPC between those tow physical switches ?

    No, you don't need VPC.

    if there is VPC enabled? will this configuration work?

    route based on physical nic load with both nics active

    No, it will not work. Route based on physical nic load with both nics active means that a single VM will only be active on a single physical nic at one time. If the load on the physical nic becomes high, one or more VMs will move to a different physical nic and when they move the movement will be announced with gratuitous arps.
