Hi,

I am configuring NLB on two Windows 2016 Virtual Servers to host sharepoint. Which cluster operation mode is recommended. Do i have to enable mac spoofing if i use unicast only?

Thanks.

The recommendation is to use multicast with IGMP (due to performance benefits) - as long as your switches support IGMP - or multicast. More at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4494444/configuring-network-infrastructure-to-support-the-nlb-operation-mode

Hi Create_share,

I am writing to check if there's any other concern about NLB. It's recommended to turn to Network Forum for better help. If there's not, please mark the reply as answer to end this thread.
