Hi.
At the moment im looking into building a bit more resiliency into the network configurations on a 2040a HA-pair.
Currently each node has a single lacp group containing four 1gig interfaces - however physically only two of these interfaces are connected - both to a single switch. our network infrastructure will not support cross-switch lacp.
My plan is to change this to have two lacp groups with two interfaces each in, and then have this set as active/passive. physically these will go to separate switches.
Im hoping to try and do this non-disruptively using the RC file and failover/failback. - i assume as long as the group names are correct, the rest of the config can stay the same?.
Can someone sanity check the revised RC file ive come up with please to see if im on the right track.
Current config:
hostname XXX
ifgrp create lacp VIF01 -b mac e0b e0a e0c e0d
vlan create VIF01 25 996 997
ifconfig VIF01-25 `hostname`_VIF01-25 mediatype auto netmask 255.255.254.0 partner VIF01-25
ifconfig VIF01-996 `hostname`_VIF01-996 mediatype auto netmask 255.255.255.0 partner VIF01-996
ifconfig VIF01-997 `hostname`_VIF01-997 mediatype auto netmask 255.255.255.0 partner VIF01-997
route add default XXX
routed on
options dns.enable on
options dns.domainname XXX

Revised config:
hostname XXX
ifgrp create lacp pair01 -b mac e0a e0c
ifgrp create lacp pair02 -b mac e0b e0d
ifgrp create single VIF01 pair01 pair02
ifgrp favor pair01
vlan create VIF01 25 996 997

ifconfig VIF01-996 `hostname`_VIF01-996 mediatype auto netmask 255.255.255.0 partner VIF01-996
ifconfig VIF01-997 `hostname`_VIF01-997 mediatype auto netmask 255.255.255.0 partner VIF01-997
