Configuring the High Availability Feature for X.25 over LLC2

Figure 3-15 Before the Failover

If the SG package for XOL detects an error in the XOL interface, the package is stopped on the primary system and the equivalent package starts on the standby system. When the SG package is stopped on system A, the XOL interfaces (and optionally applications) on the failed LAN card are stopped. An attempt is made to configure LAN card on system A with the factory default MAC address. When the SG package starts on system B, the LAN card on system B is configured with the unique MAC (uMAC) address, and the XOL interfaces (and optionally applications) starts on it. When the failed LAN card on system A comes up later, it is configured with the factory default MAC address.
