Setup: 4 ports in each are used to connect to various PCs. 1 port
used up to connect to the wireless router.
Problem: I have had issues with routers where frequent reseting is
required. So to prevent the entire internal network going down
because of a bad router, I decided to make the connections redundant.
So connected Port 6 of dlink to port 6 of Dax. Port 7 of dlink to
port 6 of smc. Port 7 of dax to port 7 of smc with the assumption
that even if the router fails, i'l have uninterrupted access.
But this was not to be. Things got messed up, despite enabled
connections, machines would not ping each other or the router.
Are you sure you can have parallel network routing, like between
switches as well as an extra route through the router? How will the
packets flow?
It may be irrelavant but did you use straight and cross cable
conventions for the respective devices?
