Virtual IP for two redundant PCs in Cisco Switch

[lakshmanarao.v]

Hi Team,

We have redundant Computers connected to Switch . There is the third  system also connected to the switch.
We want the two redundant PC ethernet to look like one for the third system. We want a virtual IP for the third System to get connected to any one of the  two PC’s.

we have a Cisco Small business switch.Is that possible in this switch to create a virtual IP for redundancy ?

which cisco switch supports this functionality ??

Attached is the diagram of the setup.

Hi,

That is not possible with just a switch.  You need some sort of load balancer in front of the switch with a virtual VIP.  So when a packet comes from SCATA to PC1 and if PC1 is not available it will send it to PC2. A10 makes pretty good load balancers.

Is that what you are trying to do?
