Chapter 11 Avaya P330 Layer 2 Features
Stack Redundancy
In the unlikely event that a P330 switch or Octaplane link should fail, stack integrity is maintained if the redundant cable is connected to the stack. The broken link is bypassed and data transmission continues uninterrupted. The single management IP address for the stack is also preserved for uninterrupted management and monitoring. You can remove or replace any unit within the stack without disrupting operation or performing
Since each P330 module has an integral SNMP agent, any module in a stack can serve as the stack Network Managment Agent (NMA) while other NMAs act as redundant agents in “hot” standby. If the “live” NMA fails then a backup is activated instantaneously.
