You can technically do it both ways with no issues.
This comes down to a matter of personal (or company) preference/policy. Whether you separate vlans via tagging on a trunk or untagged on their own physical ports, the result will be the same. One advantage to dedicated interfaces is dedicated bandwidth. Could be a concern based on the utilization of the links.
- tolinrome_13817Mar 19, 2014NimbostratusI think I like the idea having their own physical ports, dedicated bandwidth, the tagging will take place on the core switch then.
- Cory_50405Mar 19, 2014NoctilucentOne vlan per physical port means untagged interfaces on the BIG-IP, and access ports (vice trunk ports) at the switch level (assuming Cisco standard terminology). This is probably the easiest way to go.
