Procedure for redundant linking of rings
Procedure for redundant linking of rings
Note
Circulating frames and therefore failure of the data traffic
•
The redundant Ethernet connection must not be plugged in until the configuration has
been completed.
•
The Ethernet connection must also not be plugged in when the redundant link is
deactivated.
•
The redundant Ethernet connection must be plugged into the correct port on both
devices; in other words, the configured standby port.
Note
The Standby Connection Name (for a device pair) may only be used once in the network.
Follow the steps below to configure redundant linking of HRP rings:
1. Plan which device in the ring adopts the role of standby master and which adopts the role
of standby slave.
2. You should also plan the port of the standby master and standby slave to which the
Ethernet connections to the other rings is connected.
With the factory defaults, the device with the highest MAC address adopts the role of
standby master. If both devices support the "Force Device to Standby Master" function,
you can configure a device as the standby Master regardless of its MAC address.
3. For both master and slave, specify which port is the standby port under "Standby Port".
4. Specify a name for the standby connection. Enter this name for the master and slave
device.
5. Select the "Enable Standby Manager" option both on the master and on the slave.
6. Confirm the configuration by clicking on the "Set Values" button for the master and slave.
7.
Now
, you can plug in the redundant Ethernet connection.
