Question : IPMP without switch

Hello

I would like to know if it is required to have a switch to be able to utilize IPMP NIC teaming?  We have a scenario with direct attached storage over Ethernet and want to utilize IPMP for fault tolerance.  However currently there are no switches between the storage box and the 2 servers, they are directly attached.

If you require more details or other info please let me know

Thanks

Answer : IPMP without switch

No, a switch is not required to do IPMP. A switch is only required if you are doing link aggregation.
