Hello
I am very new to netapp , currently in the process of setting up its network connectivity. The setup would be done with multiple VLANS in such a way that , controller-1 would be dedicated for virtualization (using ISCSI/NFS) and controller-2 would be for NFS/CIFS file shares.
I have a quick question regarding connecting a CISCO 3570 X stack to FAS2240 with dual controller. Which is the recommended way ? I have some assumptions but not so sure. Any help would be really appreciated.
#My assumptions:
1. Out of two interfaces of controller-1 , connect to each switch in the stack (say a stack of CISCO 2 x 3570 X series). Similarly for controller-2.
OR
2. Two interfaces of controller-1 to first switch in the stack and two interfaces of controller-2 to second switch in the stack.
In both cases, should we have to choose a partner interface while configuring VIFs?
Thanks in advance for help.
Regards
Nishant
