Admins,
I have some systems that I want to see if I can setup a more reliable Ethernet by having redundant Ethernet links. I checked the FAQ and dont see anything there on this topic and thought to ask the list. I would like to connect one host to TWO DIFFERENT Cisco SWITCHES with one interface active and one waiting to take over. Is this possible? I know with interface bonding I can have multiple links go to the same switch, but added speed is not my goal; it is added reliability. The Cisco switches will have their spanning tree turned on so that there will be multiple paths to each switch without network loops.
I also have a bit of a slightly off-topic second part to this query: does anyone knows of a Linux implementation of the above as I maintain both system types
Thanks in advance and I will summarize unless I got no input at all,
Chuck S.
