Problem: I have had issues with routers where frequent reseting is required. So to prevent the entire internal network going down because of a bad router, I decided to make the connections redundant.
So connected Port 6 of dlink to port 6 of Dax. Port 7 of dlink to port 6 of smc. Port 7 of dax to port 7 of smc with the assumption that even if the router fails, i'l have uninterrupted access.
But this was not to be. Things got messed up, despite enabled connections, machines would not ping each other or the router.
Google: Spanning Tree. Homework: State with reasons why the original configuration fails.
