Force device to Standby Master
If you select this check box, the device is configured as a standby master regardless of its
MAC address.
● If this check box is not selected for either of the devices for which the standby master is
enabled, then assuming that no error has occurred, the device with the higher MAC
address adopts the role of standby master.
● If the option is selected for both devices or if the "Force device to Standby Master"
property is supported by only one device, the standby master is also selected based on
the MAC address.
This type of assignment is important in particular when a device is replaced. Depending on
the MAC addresses, the previous device with the slave function can take over the role of the
standby master.
Note
The standby manager always requires an activated HRP client. If this is not activated, the
following error message is displayed:
"Cannot enable Standby manager if redundancy is disabled or not
in "HRP Client" mode."
Note
If two devices are linked by the standby function, the "Standby" function must be enabled on
both devices.
-200IRT IE switch uses a locally valid Ethernet address for communication in standby
formed by setting the "universally/locally administered address bit" for the MAC
-200IRT IE switch.
This is the second least significant bit of the first byte of the Ethernet address.
