GbE PHY Redundancy
GbE Port 1 is always the primary port. GbE Port 2 is always the backup port. The primary port
(GbE Port 1) is the active port and the backup port is the standby port by default.
There are 4 modes:
■
Manual
– you can manually switch between the primary port and the backup port
regardless of their link status.
■
Manual Revert
– the device switches from the primary port to the backup port when the
primary port fails on one of the redundancy triggers and the backup port has no active
alarms. You can revert from the backup port to the primary port manually.
■
Automatic
– the device switches to the standby port whenever the active port fails on one
of the redundancy triggers and the standby port has no active alarms.
■
Automatic Revert
– the device switches from the primary port to the backup port when
the primary port fails on one of the redundancy triggers and the backup port has no active
alarms. The device reverts to the primary as soon as the primary port has no active alarms.
