I'm looking for some guidances to setup a resilient network (handle possible crash of a switch for ex) between 3 machines using 2 switches and a router. On this network there will be multiple VLANS with different priorities ((o separate a metadata network from data and management networks).
The 3 machines have 2x10GbE ports connected to 2 CRS312-4C+8XG-RM switches. Each switch is for now connected to a CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS router:
What would be the best way to setup tyhe router. Should I link the switches all together? Which strategy to use? If I put 2x10G lnki between SFP+ ports of the switches, should i keep for each swicth a link to the router, or can i link only one switch to the router?
