Hi,

Consider the following:

H1------S1----R1----ISP1

\ /\ /

\ / \ /

\/ \ /

/\ \

/ \ / \

H2----- S2----R2----ISP1

H1/2 are dual-homed hosts.

S1/2 are WS-2970G-24's.

R1/2 are 7204VXR's with NPE-G1's connecting to redundant links in providers PoP.

Was hoping to implement HSRP but can this be implemented? The 2970's ( running Enterprise IOS) can't do layer 3 routing, right?

How would you connect redundant links to NPE-G1 gig ports and make them act like two switch ports?

Any advice appreciated.

Apologies. I'll try again.
