I have a client with an interesting situation. &nbsp;<br />
They have a vnxe 3100 setup in a VMware esxi cluster all through the same switch.<br />
Unfortunately it is a low end switch and they cant fund another one.<br />
The question is should both ports on SPA and SPB be put into the same LACP or should they be put in separate ones.<br />
I believe they have unique ip addresses on the same subnet for each SPA and SPB.<br />
<br />
I realize this will only support failure of either the SP and does not provide for failure of the switch itself.<br />
I think they need to be in separate LAGs but cannot find anything to support my decision.<br />
Any help is of course greatly appreciated.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
