At Cisco Live US 2014, I had the opportunity to speak with several UCS and UC on UCS Cisco employees about this very topic. The responses were unanimous: it's your choice.<div><br></div><div>They said, but in my own words, with the BE6Ks user/device limits, the solution is fully supported to run on a single 1Gbps link. The second link is mainly for redundancy, and how you choose to implement that redundancy is largely based on the environment in which you install the server into.</div><div><br></div><div>As an example, maybe you have a company with two switches in their rack and they require each server to have a link to each switch. Because the switches are not stacked, you couldn't build an EtherChannel. You would simply go with Active/Standby.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone performed failover testing with a load on the server to document exactly what the perceived outage, if any, would be? A/A or A/S?</div><div><br></div><div>On Mon Nov 10 2014 at 5:37:44 AM Boon <<a href="mailto:ciscovoipuser@gmail.com">ciscovoipuser@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Customer has ordered the 2 port C220-M3S server which is based on the BE version.

I need to design and setup the NICs for both vSphere management and the virtual machine traffic. <div><br></div><div>Can anyone advise on what is best practice for this setup or how BE bundles are configured when shipped from Cisco? Unfortunately I only have experience of working with C-Series with the 4-port PCIe cards for which the setup is reasonably well documented. </div><div><br>Thanks</div></div>
