To get proper redundancy, we've installed 2 Huawei S3300 switches in our network and connected them to eachother. We now want to hook our servers to both switches. Since all servers have 2 ethernet ports, this should be possible.
The big problem is that we want to do this using just 1 IP address per server. Does anyone know how to configure Linux (and Windows too actually) so it supports this, at the same time avoiding any form of looping ?

As far as Windows goes, this is often a function of the driver software, so no easy answer.
