Redundant Link Control

The Redundant Link Control menu allows configuring up to 24 pairs of redundant links. A redundant pair consists of any two physically linked ports in the stack, where one is the primary link port and the other is the secondary link port. The primary link is the active link between two devices and the secondary is a backup and is set to inactive to prevent looping. In the event that the primary link fails, the secondary link becomes active. The secondary link stays active even if the primary link recovers. You must manually reset the primary link status to active in order to re-instate the redundant pair.

Redundant Link Control

You configure a primary link by assigning a specific port on a specific hub to a Link Pair Index. You assign a secondary link by assigning a specific port on a specific hub to the same Link Pair Index.

Link Pair Index: The number identifying the redundant link pair. (1 to 24)

Primary Link Group: This object identifies the hub ID of the primary link for a given redundant link pair.
