each interface has to be in a different network.
how can a network have redundancy when its interface is already down?
where did you get your information from?
pardon, pls. i really was not able to view the diagram how the network presented but i will try to answer every question...
1) you have one router you expect to have a redundant network? - yes, as long as the router has more than 1 interface.
2) each interface has to be in a different network. - no, u can bundle interfaces to create a port-channel on the otherhand, an interface can carry multiple networks thru' sub-interfaces and vlans.
3) how can a network have redundancy when its interface is already down? - as long as the router is UP, traffic are automatically re-routed to redundant path via another interface. it's just needs correct configurations. btw, we are talking layer 3, dont forget the routing and routed protocols function.
where did you get your information from? - studies and experience
