v
Redundant
connection
The
addition
of
an
optional
network
interface
card
(NIC)
provides
a
failover
capability
to
a
redundant
Ethernet
connection.
If
a
problem
occurs
with
the
primary
Ethernet
connection,
all
Ethernet
traffic
associated
with
the
primary
connection
is
automatically
switched
to
the
redundant
NIC.
If
the
appropriate
device
drivers
are
installed,
this
switching
occurs
without
data
loss
and
without
user
intervention.
