This section provides several configuration examples of the Smart Link.
2.6.1 Example for Configuring Basic Functions of Smart Link
Networking Requirements
, the user-side network is connected to the metropolitan area network
(MAN) in dual-homing mode to guarantee the reliability of the network. In addition, ensure
rapid switching of traffic over the standby link when the active link fails so that the duration of
service interruption is limited to several milliseconds.
