Important Considerations

■Connect the network cable to the resilient link port after you reboot the system.

■In general, create links before you define your Virtual LANs (VLANs). If you plan to create resilient links for part of a VLAN, create the resilient links before you create the VLAN.

■When you create a resilient link that includes ports that are part of a VLAN, those ports are removed from the VLAN. You must modify the VLAN and add the new bridge port to the appropriate VLAN. This situation does not apply to the default VLAN (all ports are part of the default VLAN).

■If you have already defined other links or trunks on your system, you cannot select ports that are part of an existing link or a trunk.

■You must reboot the system at the end of the link definition process. (You can define multiple links in one define operation.)

■The resilient link port pair uses a single MAC address for frames sourced by this pair.

■The resilient link name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
