Does such a thing exist?

How would this be able to handle all of the points that would be patched into the 'live' switch?

 

Google for HSRP. You should find a bunch of good info.

 

HSRP is for routers though Michael.

The OP was referring to switches or am I missing the point?

 

HSRP can be used on a layer 3 switch simon

its pretty much a one liner config on each switch i think. What switches you using?

 

No, it's not... in fact, I've got it configured on two switches right here in front of me.

EDIT: Yeah, what Daniel said.
