I don't see why that wouldn't work. I personally like to have my Gates go to a set of switches when in HA.

Hi,

 I agree with you but unfortunately I don't have a couple of switches to include.

What about the best configuration Type coupled with Server NIC Fault Tolerant: 802.3ad Aggregate, Redundant Interf, Software Switch, Hardware Switch etc etc.

 I have to take care about port monitor also the port nr. 5 and 6, in order to manage the HA switch?

 

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
