The configuration in this figure ensures that the network traffic flow is balanced.
Figure 38: Typical Link-State Tracking Configuration
• For links to switches and other network devices
◦ Server 1 and server 2 use switch A for primary links and switch B for secondary links.
◦ Server 3 and server 4 use switch B for primary links and switch A for secondary links.
• Link-state group 1 on switch A
◦ Switch A provides primary links to server 1 and server 2 through link-state group 1. Port 1 is
connected to server 1, and port 2 is connected to server 2. Port 1 and port 2 are the downstream
interfaces in link-state group 1.
