For example, when you enable redundancy:
1.Port 1 becomes the primary link and port 2 is the redundant link.
2.If the primary link (port 1) fails, the redundant link (port 2) is engaged automatically, thus preventing a network failure.
3.When you disable redundancy, each port works independently.
Note: Enabling port redundancy for two ports automatically enables the ports themselves, even if the ports were previously disabled.
The redundancy status LEDs, located between the sets of port LEDs and the port connectors on the
❑Off - When you disable redundancy (default setting).
❑On - When you enable redundancy.
For information about the redundancy LEDs, refer to Table
To set redundancy between ports, use the following management command:
SET PORT {slot.port} MODE REDUNDANT {slot.port}
To turn off redundancy between ports, use the MODE NON_REDUNDANT option. Redundancy configurations are shown in Chapter 2, Designing and Expanding the Network.
Note: If you enable redundancy on one end of a link, you must enable Remote Failure Signaling (RFS) at the other end. For more information, refer to the next section, Enabling Remote Failure Signaling.
