I said "1 group" as in 1 GLBP group, not 1 HSRP group.

Which NIC the server uses is goverened by your NIC teaming software. You
set a preferred NIC, and the failback options as well as keepalives
(recommended).

I'm not sure if it's supported on a 3750, but the Feature Navigator will
tell you.

  Hi James ,
  HSRP with 1 group does not do equal Load distribution as with 2
  groups . But GLBP seems to be a good option, but i am looking forward
  to deploy it in a 3750 . Does a 3750 support GLBP ?

  Is there an application or some kinda mechanism ,,, which make a
  server to choose the right NIC . For eg if the 3750 is the active
  switch for Server1 ,,, i would like to control the server to send
  traffic only thru first NIC ,,,,as the second NIC shold be used
  until the link to switch 1 is down,,so that it directs traffic thru
  the second uplink .

  TIA
