well i think you could insert your dual NIC openbsd host into the
switch 'ring' physically, then bridging between the 2 NICs and firing
up STP, but be aware that every time you up/down an interface or
reboot your openbsd box, you'll trigger an STP recalc - which is
around 45sec outage

1. create a layer 2 (switched) ring, using spanning tree.
- completely independent of openbsd box
2. connect your (dual NIC) openbsd box to 2 separate switches for
redundancy, and add both NICs to a trunk group.
- redundancy of switch, cabling and NICs.

Pete,
thanks for
I am trying to work out a way to add some redundancy to my network, by
putting my switches in a ring.
I have a pair of CARP'd routers, each with 2 GigE interfaces, and the
ability to add more on PCI-E cards. I have a number of switches with
24x100Mb ports and 2 GigE uplink ports. Currently

I'm not sure if trunk or bridge are more appropriate in this case
I think probably bridge with RSTP, but I'm not sure how that will
play with vlans (if you use them).
I'd like to do something similar, but I have vlans, and as an
added twist my
