, is an automat-
ed system to easily create redundant paths between your GigaCore
switches. Switches automatically create active and redundant paths,
providing an eff ortless method to create safe networks.
If one of the active paths fails, the switches will enable a redundant
path in a seamless manner. The recovery time is between 20 and 40ms.
By default, all GigaCore ports have RLinkX enabled, which means you
can interconnect any GigaCore switch between each other. All redun-
dant paths will be created automatically by the switches, no need for
confi guration.

paths.
