According to the Network guy, we've got a particular switch that cost us 18K 8 years ago that handles it seamlessly. The interfaces are: Token xxx.xxx.114.32 Fiber xxx.xxx.114.91 Ether xxx.xxx.114.232 Ether xxx.xxx.114.233 netmask is 255.255.255.0 for all of them. > > Sure you can have multiple virtuals no problem there but the key to > redundancy is to use just one virtual that's 'attached' to multiple > physicals in the same subnet.

Is there anyway to make sure the virtual IPs don't associate to it unless everything else is down? I seem to recall seeing something about the virtual IPs associating to whatever interface comes up first. I really don't want 100Mb ethernet traffic being routed over 16Mb TR unless absolutely necessary ;-) Charles
