network interface group

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a network interface group using ports across two nodes like the top diagram? If possible, what's the cli commands?

Thank you!

A network interface group must be between a single netapp node and a single switch stack/cluster/LACP root.

Both diagrams represent valid configurations, assuming the top one is using VSS or some other stacking protocol between the switches.

Hope this helps.

Can you explain a bit more on what you mean? Here is the description of the top diagram:

NetApp Interface Group Supported Configurations

In the top example in the diagram, we have an Interface Group on Controller 1 which is connected to two different switches. We repeat this for Controller 2. We have two Interface Groups - a0a on Controller 1, and a0a on Controller 2.

This mean it's possible to create an interface group using one port from each controller?

Thanks!
