ESS failover examples
Issue 1.1 June 2005 53
Figure 20: ATM, single ESS server, multiple nodes in normal operation
A network outage occurs that fragments the two ATM and IP networks (see Figure 21). The
Main server continues to provide service to Port Networks 1 through 3 with no service
interruption. The IPSIs in Port Network 4 and 6 requests service of the S8700 ESS server after
the no service timer expires. The S8700 ESS server assumes control of Port Network 4 first.
