Unity Network Configure.

Hi, everyone

I would like to inquire about the Unity network configuration.

My customer is using the interlink configuration with lacp instead of vlt.

If Interlink is used as lacp, is it possible to configure lacp of unity and switch as shown in the figure below?

If the above configuration doesn't work, can I configure it with FSN?

Thanks.

    Hello jcpark,

    Here are the links to a couple of guides for configuring LACP on unity ports.

    Hello jcpark,

    You can configure your unity using LACP and it should not have an issue.  Here is a link to a Dell EMC Networking with Isilon Front-End Deployment and Best Practices Guide which explains what all needs to be done. https://dell.to/3UmFY3f

    Thank you for answer

    What I want to ask is whether there is any problem with communication even if the port used by Unity is set to LACP when the switch interworking setting is LACP rather than VLT.

    If the interlink is LACP, I wonder if that protocol communication is possible even if the port used by Unity is configured as LACP.

    As far as I know, VLT was able to communicate between LACP.

    Thank you for answer

    Model is S4148.

    The customer wants to continue using the previously configured Inter-link as LACP.

    Is there a recommended Unity network configuration when configuring with LACP rather than switch-to-switch VLT?

    For example, as mentioned above, when configuring Inter-link with LACP, I asked if it should be configured with FSN.

    Thanks.
