Would you explain your design a little bit more detailed? Where your Fiber link goes? Where your 1751 router connects? What is your Layer2 and Layer3 topology? What is your traffic? What you want to protect?
Do you have any extra fiber pairs? I have a similar setup in my hospitals. I use 2950's in each closet and link the secondary fiber into the fiber ports on the 1st switch off the router. Administratively disable the fiber port on that switch. That handles two remote closets. The third I use a media converter to take the 3rd secondary and convert to copper. When I **** a fiber port I enable the secondary port.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
