You can make a redundant set up so you can minimize failures.

Always copy or backup the config daily basis out of the box (in case of any kit failure you can replace with a new kit known as good config)

Do you want more advanced, how is your exiting arrangement - make small network diagram from there start adding redundant setup.

Hi Balaji, 

Thanks for the response, In production network what are all the possible steps for, if a switch fails to get a internet or the situation is like cant access the switch directly.

You need to define failure scenarios, and is this physically can access and replace.

if not you need to design a redundancy plan, so failure can occur and automatically failover takes place..

as suggested make a small diagram and check what device fails and how to fix a quicker way.
