Section14.2
Managing Link Failover Protection
Link failover provides an easily configurable means of raising a backup link upon the failure of a designated main
link. The main and backup links can only be Ethernet.
Link failover can back up to multiple remote locations, managing multiple main-to-backup link relationships.
Link failover can also be used to migrate the default route from the main link to the backup link.
The time after a main link failure to backup link startup, and the time after a main link recovery to backup link
stoppage, are configurable. The link failover function also provides failover status information and a test of the
failover settings.
