Assigning a 10gig port to two Contexts

Hi All,

 

I'm designing a new network and would like to run four contexts on my 5200V chassis along with 8 10gig ports. Each box will run a GTM, LTM, LTMASM and a spare. My question is is it possible to have a single 10gig port assigned to two different contexts on the same chassis?

 

Cheers

    Yes, you can use the same physical link to provide network connectivity to multiple VCMP guest systems. What you need to do is create the VLANs that use the physical interface for carriage on the host (your 5200V), then assign the vlans to the VCMP guests as you instantiate them.
