"HP Procurve" - what?

That's a product line, not a switch model.

 

Also, you don't need to use a hub; a L2 switch generally works just fine.

The problem is when the switch tries to be too smart about L3 and ends up being 
too smart for its own good.

Subject: [isalist] Network Load Balancing And Network Hardware Recomendations

 

Hello,

 

This is possible a little off topic.

 

We currently use Windows Network Load Balancing for our Exchange and ISA 
servers. Right now to avoid problems with our network switches I have a hub 
between the NLB hosts and our Network Switches. This connection is therefore 
limited to 100MB ½ duplex connections.

 

I have new hardware coming in that I need to use NLB on and I would like to 
have an optimal configuration. I have taken a look at Microsoft KB 192602 and 
am looking for further recommendations. Our network switches are HP Procurve. 

 

Thanks

 

Bill
