If I use two brocade 4100's and multiple ISL's between the switches, will the load be balanced without ISL Trunking?
What exactly is DLS and does this work without Trunking?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm learning as it's new to me. :)
Thanks,

SolutionAre you using 50micron core cable for your ISLs, or are the switches really more than 150m apart?

Re: Mulitple ISLs without ISL Trunking
So without trunking it's very possible I could end up with an idle ISL?

Re: Mulitple ISLs without ISL Trunking
If *all* the hosts assigned to an ISL are idle then the ISL will be idle, but it won't be a hot spare, it just won't have any workload at that moment....

Re: Mulitple ISLs without ISL Trunking
With Trunking license, you should be able to get the frame based trunking, which will fully balance the ISLs.
