Cross site Exchange DAG with Multiple WAN Links
In the case that I have a cross site (2 sites, for example) DAG with one Exchange server at each site, and there are 2 seperated WAN links between these 2 sites for replication
- Can I use these 2 WAN links seperately for MAPI & Replication (one link for MAPI, one link for Replication), or do I have to use one link for both MAPI and Replication? And pros & cons for each situation?
- Does quorum depend on connectivity of the DAG members on the MAPI network, or on the replication network, i.e. on which network (or both) must quorum be maintained to prevent dismount of databases?

1. Yes you can. Just need proper planning in the network part, different subnets, etc.
2. You can choose any network you want for that.

Why not consider enabling ISL of your connections? That could combine links together with more capacity and resiliency and you do not need to look into detail of channel allocations.

The links are for cross sites WAN links provided by carrier. The situation could be added a new WAN link as the existing WAN link congestion.
