Overview of Port Redundancy
Port Redundancy enables you to define a redundancy relationship
between any two ports or LAGs in a device, or between a port and a
LAG. One port or LAG is defined as the primary port and the other as the
secondary port. In case the primary port link fails, the secondary port
takes over. This connection between the two ports is called a Port
Redundancy.
An Intermodule Port Redundancy provides a port redundancy service
that operates even when the primary port link fails as the result of a
failure of the module. For example, if the module on which the primary
port in an Intermodule Port Redundancy is located powers down or is
removed from the device, the secondary port in the Intermodule Port
Redundancy takes over.
* Note: Only one intermodule port redundancy can be configured on
a device.
