<div dir="ltr">Hello Fellow Ausnoggers,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm hoping that I can quickly pick the brain of someone
more knowledgeable in data centre networking than myself.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have a customer in one of our racks in Equinix who has a
single network switch, and some servers connected to it. We
currently have two connections from our switch to the
customer's switch, with LACP for redundancy (and as a side
effect, we get a slight bandwidth boost for 2 x 1Gbps
connections, which is a slight bonus).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would like to improve this by putting in two network
switches on our end, to protect again a single switch failure
on our side, but the customer will still have one single
network switch.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm pretty sure we can't do LACP with this style of setup -
so what would people recommend to achieve redundancy here?
Main thing is that the connection needs to auto-failover if a
network switch fails, or if one of the uplinks fails.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have created the attached diagram which illustrates what
we are trying to do.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can anyone please help? I'll owe a beer at the Next AusNOG
meetup!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div><br>
