Question : Windows Network Load Balancing and Layer 3 switches

Windows Network Load Balancing and Layer 3 switches.

I read this in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Layer 3 switches need to be specially configured to work with NLB. A VLAN must be established for the hosts in the cluster, and this VLAN must be configured to operate in Layer 2 mode. All Layer 3 switches may not support this capability, and when they do, the mechanism to setup the Layer-2 VLAN is specific to the particular make and model. Consult the documentation for the switch before attempting to configure such a system.

Does this mean that I cannot connect two NLB servers to a Cisco 3750G switch without doing something special?

This does not seem accurate to me...

Answer : Windows Network Load Balancing and Layer 3 switches

It just means that all the nodes have to be on the same VLAN.
If you don't have anything configured on the switch, then you should be fine.
