I would like some assistance in knowing how I can add redundancy to my network. Right now I just have the single CCR2004-16G-2S+ and CRS326-24S+2Q+RM. The plan is getting a second 10G port from my ISP for redundancy on the router + switch. I have a /30 for BGP peering from ISP for ip tables.



The plan now, not decided is each server in the rack will be connected to each CRS326-24S+2Q+RM (NIC LAG), CRS226-24G-2S+RM for IPMI and CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+RM for LAN port. I am planning on using Mikrotik as it's quite newbie friendly and mainly for low power consumption. Wont be much L3 switching I know these suck for that.

Redundancy on the LAN/IPMI ports is not essential.

Would VRRP be the way to go?
