How can I get 2 small switches 2500XL or 3500XL to be redundant. The
router has one 100 ethernet port? Is it typical to use just one 100 port
or is it better to have either 2 100 or 2 1000 ethernet?
Will this work or do I need 2 ethernet ports on the router?
On the win2k computers I was plan
For Redundancy you need a router with 2 ethernet port !!!

You need 2 router ports, thats common sense. If you only have one router
port, and the siwtch that is connected to the router goes down guess what
happens to your connection to the router.

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,
I was assuming switch redudancy and failure only. He specified dual NIC's
with same IP address. He would need NIC teaming (COMPAQ) or the equivalent
on his platform/OS.If he needed upstream redundancy he'd need 2 routers
running HSRP, VRRP or a similiar technology. He didn't give much details so
