idle curousity ( I sure seem to be idle today :-> ) what is the single point of failure against which this switch redundancy is protecting?
router failure? if so, if doesn't matter how many ports the router has connected to where. If the box goes down, the users are hosed switch failure? if so, unless the users have dual nics dual homed to different switches, if the switch they are connected to goes down, they are hosed ( at least until the tech support people can physically move the patch cables to the other switch ) electrical failure? are any of these things connected to a UPS? internet access failure? got multiple ISP's and multiple paths to each? as someone once so aptly put it, the world is a single point of failure. -- ""sam sneed"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > You need 2 router ports, thats common sense.

Can both nics have the same IP address? Thank you.
