Setting up Switch Module Redundancy

This section describes procedures for installing and setting up both a main and redundant switch module together.

Two different setup procedures are described. The first procedure covers setting up the main and redundant switch module hardware redundancy without setting up LANE redundancy. This procedure only requires operating the LMA. The second procedure sets up the main and redundant switch module hardware redundancy as well as LANE redundancy. It requires both the LMA and the Transcend Enterprise Manager.

There are two situations where you would use the procedures of this section:

1The initial installation of main and redundant cards.

2The main card in the first slot has failed and the redundant card in the second slot has taken over as the main card. The failed card in the first slot has been replaced by a new card and this new card is now the redundant one.
