Redundant pair and switch fault tolerance
Sorry if this hardware question is off-topic, but didn't see anywhere else to post. Also, I'm a developer stuck with a network implementation, so bear with me on that, too.
We have two LTM 1500s that are going to run as a standby system in a redundant pair using the serial cable.
We are currently running the application LAN on two fault tolerant switches that auto failover if there is a problem.
I'm wondering how to hookup the LTMs to the switches. Do I run two interfaces from each LTM--one to each switch? The active switch would send traffic and the standby switch would obviously send nothing.
I'm sure this is a common network config. Can someone shed some light on this?
