I've been reading that it's possible to set up a system with multiple NIC to provide redundant internet connectivity such that it will switch to a secondary connection if the primary ISP fails.
Is it possible in a similar way to setup redundant LAN routing? I read that it is possible to aggregate/bond multiple NIC to stackable switches that support link aggregation and redundancy. But if only simple switches are available, is something like this possible?
e.g. System A eth0 -> lan switch/router 1 eth1 -> lan switch/router 2
System B eth0 -> lan switch 1 eth1 -> lan switch 2
Then somehow specify that, if lan switch 1 fails, the two systems will switch to using switch 2 so that in case of a switch failure, the network continues to remain operational. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
I'd think for this to be possible you will need a router with multiple WAN addresses/interfaces... I am not sure how that pertains to your LAN per se.
