HSRP anyone?
Then your Netapp would point to a "virtual IP" that rides on 2 different
cisco interfaces.
This way if one of the cisco gig ports fails then the other takes over as
the active gaetway in an instant.
Cisco's web site has some HSRP config examples that may be useful.
I believe the 6509 will require a route module. Do a "sh mod" on the switch.
PB-Core-1> (enable) sh mod
Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status
--- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- --- --------
1 1 2 1000BaseX Supervisor WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE yes ok
15 1 1 Multilayer Switch Feature WS-F6K-MSFC no ok
2 2 48 10/100BaseTX Ethernet WS-X6248-RJ-45 no ok
Note module 15 is a Multilayer switch feature card (MSFC). If you do not
have one of these I don't think HSRP is possible because HSRP is a propietey
Cisco routing protocol used by route processors. (i.e. the MSFC).
#this command puts you on the route module
PB-Core-1> (enable) session 15
#as you can see it looks like a regular ole router once you do a session 15
PB-Core-1> (enable) session 15

#if you want to enable HSRP simply go into config t and into the particular
Vlan interface. Then do a "standby ip [address]"
PB-Core-1-MSFC#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
PB-Core-1-MSFC(config)#int vlan11
PB-Core-1-MSFC(config-if)#standby ip 123.123.123.123
#when your done simply exit out of the MSFC.
#Then set the MSFC vlan interface to the particular switch port
PB-Core-1> (enable) set vlan 11 2/33
Now you can connect a device to the switchport and tell the device to use
the virtual IP of 123.123.123.123 as its gateway.
To create a redundant port simply go back into the MSFC, create a new Vlan
interface in a different network, assign it the same standby IP, exit the
MSFC, set the new vlan to a different switchport, connect the second
switchport to your downstream device and you're done.
2 different vlan interfaces using 2 different networks but the same standby
IP.
