Option 1 Configuration
Note:
The LOM ports are active-standby only and cannot be part of a PortChannel or virtual PortChannel (vPC).
Network Connection Option 2
Option 2 uses the two LOM interfaces to carry management, control, and packet traffic. The other four interfaces
on the PCI card carry only data traffic. In this configuration, the two interfaces used for management, control, and
packet traffic should be connected to two separate upstream switches for redundancy. In addition, the four ports
used for data traffic should be split between two upstream switches for redundancy. Not all four interfaces are
required, and their use depends on bandwidth requirements. Use a minimum of two interfaces that are also
connected to two separate physical switches. In addition, if multichassis EtherChannel is available, that technology
is preferred, to provide additional bandwidth and redundancy (Figure 7).
