What happens after the relays close? – Manual Mode
LINKprotect® has two separate modes of configuration: Manual mode and Auto mode. The
mode selected dictates the behavior of the network port pair after the relays have been closed.
Manual Reconnect Mode Flow Diagram
Manual mode:
When the relays close as a result of LINKprotect® activating, the relay will stay closed until the
user initiates a command to the SINGLEstream to reactivate the network ports. Once a failover
occurs in this mode, the monitoring tools connected to the SINGLEstream will not receive
traffic until there is intervention by the user.
The SINGLEstream will not try and resurrect the link in this mode, which is often preferable on
some redundant/HA systems in place on the network devices connected to the SINGLEstream.
See page 6 for an example on recovering the ports once they fail over.
