If there are no fail over plans for your FW, Internet router and ISP, I
don't see it necessary to put any switch in between since you add another
point of failure.

Subject: [FW1] Single Nokia IP to two outbound switches
How bout this:

Suppose inbetween my firewall and internet router, there were two switches
configured in failover.
So if anything went wrong with one switch, it would failover to the other.
Logically, this would require two external interfaces on my Nokia, one
connected to one switch, the other to the other.
Having said that I can't think how to implement this, on the Nokia, or in
fw-1.
Has anyone any comments? Ignore the router end of this for the moment.
Cheers,
Paul.
