Netapps newbie

nssnetwork — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:23:06 GMT

Our department will be deploying some NetApp V-Serie 3100. We will use LACP to aggregate some interfaces (2 x 2Gig) on the appliances onto to 2 Cisco 4500 Catalyst switches. Does a network loop could be created if the NetApp appliance is not configured properly

Thanks

Hi, welcome to the community.

Have a look at VIF and LACP on the now site. Here is a good link to get you started.

Hope it helps

PS - We just used single mode VIFS as it is good enough for us and is much simpler.
