[cisco-voip] Dual NIC config?

[Ryan Ratliff]

Note that Cisco only supports the HP teaming drivers currently, and  
make sure to follow the instructions at  
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/voiceapp/ps378/ 
prod_installation_guide09186a0080203ebc.html to the letter (ie don't  
choose Load Balancing).

The IBM teaming drivers may work perfectly for you, but if you have any  
issues related to network connectivity disable them and see if the  
issue persists before engaging TAC.

Make sure that at no time your CM server has multiple IP addresses.   
This is bad, 100% not supported and guaranteed to cause issues.

If you use the IBM servers then you'll need to load the device drivers  
after the OS is loaded.
 
You have to be careful too when doing OS upgrades to reinstall the  
driver just to be safe ;)
 
Worked well for me though and I ran  a couple of IBM x345's without  
problem at all, at least no problem with the ethernet level ;)
 
Usual stuff, make sure spanning-tree is running on the two switches  
facing the server as the driver uses it.

Greetings All From Iraq!
 
I need to set up a CCM with dual NICs and wanted to get everyone's  
input on the best practices for doing so.  I am also sifting through  
Cisco’s site but nothing (so far) seems to bear upon using dual NICs.
