Section 5.27.4.2
Adding a Link Failover Backup Interface
To set a link failover backup interface, do the following:
CAUTION!
Configuration hazard – risk of connection loss. If a RUGGEDCOM APE module is installed, either
avoid configuring switch.0001 as a link failover backup interface or configure a different VLAN for the
APE module. By default, APE modules utilize VLAN 1 (switch.0001) and always keep the interface in
the UP state. This would interfere with the link failover mechanism.
To configure a different VLAN for the APE module, change the PVID for the associated switched
Ethernet port. For information, refer to Section 3.18.2, “Configuring a Switched Ethernet Port”.
1. Change the mode to Edit Private or Edit Exclusive.
2. Navigate to services » link-failover » {interface} » backup, where {interface} is the name of the interface.
3. Click <Add backup>. The Key Settings form appears.
