Information on standby redundancy

redundancy. The text boxes on this page are read-only.
Note
Device with the higher MAC address becomes master
When linking HRP rings redundantly, two devices are
always configured as a master/slave
pair. This also applies to interrupted HRP rings = linear buses. When operating normally, the
device with the higher MAC address adopts the role of master.
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.
The Standby tab shows the status of the standby function:
