Failover group
Figure 3-7 (page 28)
shows a sample failover group (LAN_MONITOR mode) configuration. This
configuration provides high availability network access with an active link and a standby link,
and has the following characteristics:
•
Dual switches or hubs are not required. However, dual switches and hubs provide a more
reliable network environment by removing the switch or hub as a single point of failure. If
two switches or hubs are used, there must be a data path between them to allow them to be
on the same subnet.
•
You can connect failover groups to any switch or hub.
•
The link partner does not require trunking to be enabled.
