That would be great and you would have my sincere thanks.. And if
anyone is interested, what we do is take a pair of "top of rack"
switches and cluster them together so they appear as one switch.
Configure a LAG consisting of a port on each physical switch to a pair
of bonded interfaces on the server and use mode 2 bonding. In normal
operation, both interfaces are active. Should one switch experience a
power or interface failure, the server sees one of the interfaces fail
but just keeps working on the remaining interface. There is no
"failover" event going on.
Thanks,
George
