We have some equipment setup at a data center that I'd like to make more resilient to various network failures. We're currently using a single 2626 as our primary switch, have two separate ethernet feeds into our cabinet, and have a few Sun servers, each with at least two NICs. We have another (disconnected) 2626 sitting in the cabinet in case something happens to the primary switch, in which case we'd call the data center and have a tech swap it out. That could take up to half an hour, so what I'd like to do is make the network topology redundant such that if either ethernet drop, switch, or NIC has a problem that things will automatically failover within say 30 seconds or so. My hosting provider informs me that our gateway address is a virtual router with 2 separate Cisco routers running HSRP behind it. Setting the redundant NIC config (in this case Solaris IP Multipathing) seems pretty straightfoward. Would simply setting RSTP between the two switches and then connecting each server to each switch on a different NIC accomplish what I want to achieve? I'm only using one VLAN right now.
