Front Panel Redundancy

This chapter describes setting up front panel redundancy

Setting Front Panel Redundancy

When you configure front panel redundancy, you designate one of the EMM-E6’s redundant front panel ports as the active port and the other port as the backup. Once a redundancy scheme has been defined and enabled, the EMM-E6 monitors the active port’s connection to up to three designated IP addresses. If the port loses contact with one address, it attempts to make contact with the next address listed for its redundant circuit. If it cannot make contact with any IP address in its circuit, the device switches to the backup port, which has an independent physical connection to the network.
