I have an IBM Bladecenter with two cisco integrated switch modules. Each module has 4 external ports, which I want to connect to my two Cisco 2924 switches. If you are unfamilar with how the bladecenter network works, on each cisco switch, it has 14 internal ports which go to each Blade, and 4 external ports. So there on each server, I want to do nic teaming, so blade1 has two nics, and one goes to gig0/1 on switch 1, and gig0/1 on switch 2. How would I configure the 2924's and the external ports to enable all 8 ports to span without creating any network loops?

Thanks,

Nick
