Hi,
Thank you so much for the reply.
Will configuring the mode as active backup take care of failure of NICs automatically?
Is there something to be configured in the switch also, as there are two switches looking at same MAC address...

I think this question is very vague, but can someone tell me if its possible to bond the ports of router also, so that the two Gigabit ethernet ports of router looks like one to the switch??
I am sorry again, if the question is not very sensible, but I am new to this and am still learning...

thank you in advance.

w/regards,
Jayesh
