I have 8 cats separated on 2 floors and I want to create some sort of
failover but want to make sure that it will work and will not cause any
problems. The diagram below is my setup and I have 4 cats on fl1 connected
to 4 cats on fl2 via fiber from sw4 to sw5 but I would like to run a piece
of fiber from sw1 to sw8 as well if 3 or 4 goes down. Can I do this without
causing any network interruption?? And is there any special setup that
should be done to stop routing loops?? Such as enable STP?? They all are
in the same VLAN of 1. No special VLAN configs have been created.
