Redundant configuration
For full redundancy, you require two NMs on two PCs connected to two NIUs. Each NIU is
connected to a Silver Network of security devices, which are setup in a closed loop (see Figure
202:). The NMs are identical and use the same ID, with one NM specified as the primary. The two
NMs are connected to two redundant security management applications, which are on separate
PCs. In this setup, the failure of any single device (excluding processors) will result in the
redundant device taking over, without the loss of data. The failure of any one processor will not
affect the remaining processors in the network.
