Chapter 42 Configuring ASLB
Cabling Guidelines
Cabling Guidelines
Follow these cabling guidelines for your ASLB configuration:
•
Check your connections to the servers attached to the switch. The servers must be either directly
attached to the switch or within the same bridging domain as the LocalDirector port in the server
VLAN.
•
Use two Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cables to connect two 10/100 or two 1000BASE-X
switch ports to two comparable LocalDirector interfaces.
Caution
Connect the LocalDirector directly to the Catalyst 6000 family switch.
See the
“Configuring the LocalDirector Interfaces” section on page 42-7
to configure the LocalDirector
interfaces. See the
“Configuring ASLB from the CLI” section on page 42-11
to configure the switch.
