Failover Planning
This section discusses failover protection at the unit and port levels. To ensure
that service is continued in the event of a port failure, you can utilize two Gigabit
Ethernet ports simultaneously as a bonded pair (on Arrays with two or more
Gigabit ports).
Figure 23. Port Failover Protection
In addition, the Array has full failover protection between the bonded-pair
Gigabit ports (see following table).
The Wireless Array Gigabit Ethernet ports actually support a number of modes:
802.3ad Link Aggregation
Load Balancing
Broadcast
Link Backup
Mirrored
Interface
