I would like to set up my pair of 2960's to connect my servers to a SAN
and avoid an outage if a switch fails.

Each server will have a teamed connection, going to each switch

And the switches will have multiple etherchannel connections to each
other, and be clustered.


Thanks
John

Fine...wish you luck...and you would like to ask...?
btw. clustering on cat2960 isn't related with switch redundancy. it's more
of the switch management feature...

My question would be am I going in the right direction, does the setup
make sense, or am I really missing something?

Is there a guide or best practices for setting up this type of
configuration?

Thanks

How would you cluster you pair of 2960´s?

If you're saying that you will have one NIC in the server going to one switch and the other NIC going to the other switch AND you're going to team them, then you've got a problem. 2960's don't support cross chassis etherchannel. You've got to have 3750's or 6500's to do that.
