    Thenanother thing:

    If they are trying to do a failover, then they should look into Network
    Interface Backup (It is documented under Etherchannel even though you
    don't need to create a real Etherchannel). It won't exactly be on the same
    subnet, since only one card will be active at any point in time, and it
    will always be the same ip address anyway.
