Repeater Redundancy

This chapter describes how to configure and enable redundant circuits

Setting Network Circuit Redundancy

The redundancy application gives you the ability to define redundant circuits for your EMM-E6 to ensure that critical network connections remain operational. Each circuit has a designated primary port and one or more backup ports. The EMM-E6 monitors the link status of the primary port’s connection to one or more network IP addresses; if the link fails, the EMM-E6 automatically switches traffic to a backup port.

NOTE

Before you configure redundancy, make sure that only the primary physical link is connected to the network. If a backup port is connected before you configure and enable redundancy, you create a data loop.
