DHL Active-Standby

Post by strelok »

Hello,

As I understand OmniSwitch 6860 is not supported DHL Active-Stanby mode.
AOS 8.2.1.304.R01

Is it correct ?

in 8.2.1 and 8.3.1 there is DHL active-active available. So there is no need for the older active-passive DHL.

Hello silvio,

Thank you for fast response :)

Unfortunately DHL Active-Active mode less comfortable for using as I need to split vlans in two links (linkA and linkB).
And every time, when I create new vlan I should take into account this nuance.

have I understand correctly: you need to split into two links? For example linkA for vlan 1...10 and linkB for vlan 11...20?
Than active-active is your product. This is only with active-active possible.

No, there no need to touch the configuration of dhl if you add new VLAN ID or remove existing: If you doesn't configure any VLAN for "linkB" all VLANs for the ports are always active on "linkA" and blocked for "linkB". But you are free to use manual "load-balancing" by using the vlan-map-command. ;-)
