PRP is purchased as a separate option. If purchased (valid order code), PRP can be enabled in configuration through a
setting available on the network configuration menu, REDUNDANCY, which already has the capability of enabling failover
redundancy. The options on this setting must be changed to accommodate two types of redundancy: failover and PRP.
When REDUNDANCY is set to either failover or PRP, the ports dedicated for PRP (Port 2 and 3) operate in redundant
mode. In this mode, Port 3 uses the Mac, IP address, and mask of Port 2.

ROUTING 1(6)
A default route and a maximum number of six static routes can be configured.
The default route is used as the last choice when no other route towards a given destination is found.
Configure the network IP and subnet settings before configuring the routing settings.
ADDING AND DELETING STATIC ROUTES
Host routes are not supported at present.
The routing table configuration is available on the serial port and front panel. This is a deliberate decision, to avoid loss of
connectivity when remotely configuring the UR.
By default the value of the destination field is 127.0.0.1 for all static routes (1 to 6). This is equivalent to saying that the
static routes are not configured. When the destination address is 127.0.0.1, the mask and gateway must be also kept on
default values.
By default, the value of the route gateway address is 127.0.0.1. This means the default route is not configured.
To add a route:
1.
Use any of the static network route entries numbered 1 to 6 to configure a static network route. Once a route destina-
tion is configured for any of the entries 1 to 6, that entry becomes a static route and it must meet all the rules listed in
the next section, General Conditions to be Satisfied by Static Routes.
2.
To configure the default route, enter a default gateway address. Once a default gateway address is configured, it must
be validated against condition 2 of the General Conditions to be Satisfied by Static Routes.
To delete a route:
1.
Replace the route destination with the default loopback address (127.0.0.1). When deleting a route, the mask and
gateway must be also brought back to default values.
