Hello!
I have searched the forums and have found nothing for this situation. I have a single Cisco 3640 router, a pair of Cisco switches and a pair of firewalls. The firewalls are on a switch each and are running vrrp. The switches are connected to my distribution layer. The problem I am having is with the router configuration. I am trying to get the most fault tolerant setup possible out of my current hardware. Is it possible to have 2 ethernet interfaces act as one in the same? I looked at Integrated and Concurrent routing a bridging and that seemed to do the trick. Unfortunately, when I pulled one of the ethernet ports to test the setup, the BVI interface went down. What am I missing?
Thanks, Bill
