That would be great and you would have my sincere thanks..  And if
anyone is interested, what we do is take a pair of "top of rack"
switches and cluster them together so they appear as one switch.
Configure a LAG consisting of a port on each physical switch to a pair
of bonded interfaces on the server and use mode 2 bonding.  In normal
operation, both interfaces are active.  Should one switch experience a
power or interface failure, the server sees one of the interfaces fail
but just keeps working on the remaining interface.  There is no
"failover" event going on.

Thanks,

George
