Chapter 4: Redundancy
Enabling Redundancy
Failure of a network device can be catastrophic, causing network downtime and lost
business. The key to designing any mission-critical network is to recognize that these
failures can occur, and to design a network that can handle failures and still allow the
network to function. In order to do this, it is important to use the most reliable
equipment, with redundancy built in to all mission-critical equipment.
In order to implement redundancy, it is essential to enable and configure the desired
redundancy mode in each NetEnforcer involved.
