Re: Networking configuration recommendations

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I this case I would use VLAN / 802.1q tagging, most NIC drivers and Network
Switches will support this.

That's a very good point, but the issue I run into is that the physical
nodes
are actually blades only have 2 NICs assigned to them; hence the question.

I know the documentation mentions that it's "OK" to use a teamed NIC as
your
private and public connections, but just make sure everything is
redundant,
and in this case it is.

Thanks...

using a separate network interface card to provide this functionality.

When setting up a failover cluster in 2008, and using teamed NICs, do
you
recommend adding a 2nd IP to the team and creating a "Private" network
over
the same teamed interface?

I know it's technically possible and that since everything would be
redundant (switch cores, NICs, etc) and there's just the one
interface,
it's
somewhat redundant, I'm just curious to know if it's "recommended" to
configure it that way, or just let everything communicate over the
"public"
network.

Thanks,

Peter
