Ummm...I don't understand how you can provide a switch failover solution at
the access layer. So, if you have a 24-port switch, with theoretically 24
workstations plugged into it, you want it to failover to another switch if
it fails? You'd have to physically unplug all those cables and plug them
into the new switch! Or maybe you can have two NICs at each workstation
plug each of them into two separate switches....what mechanism would you use
to do the failover then - Spanning-Tree, RIP?

hi,
thanx for the reply .....
but i want the switch failover solution .. not the backbone failover .. what
if the switch itself fails .. does it failover to another switch ... does it
have any specific failover port ?
