DLSw+ with Ethernet Redundancy Enabled for Switch Support Configuration
Example
Figure 145 is a sample configuration of the DLSw+ Ethernet Redundancy feature in a switched
environment. The ethernet switch sees the device with MAC ad dress 4000.0010.0001 one port at a time
because Router A and Router B have mapped different MAC addresses to it. This configuration is known
as MAC-address mapping. Router A is configured so that MAC address 4000.0001.0000 maps to the
actual device with MAC address 4000.0010.0001. Router B is configured so that MAC address
4000.0201.0001 maps to the actual device with MAC address 4000.0010.0001. Router A and B backup
one another. Router A is configured as the master with a default priority of 100. Master Router A waits
1.5 seconds after it receives the first IWANTIT primitive before assigning the new SN A circuit to one of
its ethernet redundancy peers because of the dlsw transparent timers sna 1500 command.
