Redundant Interfaces on the SCG
The SCG offers network redundancy options by providing redundant interfaces for
the three traffic types that it handles – control traffic, cluster traffic, and management
traffic. A redundant interface pairs an active interface and a standby interface. When
the active interface fails, the standby interface becomes active automatically and
takes over the job of passing traffic.
To enable a redundant interfaces pair, you need to connect the member ports
(see
Table 7 ) to the same router or switch or to two different routers or switches,
depending on the network environment of your organization.
Figure 6 identifies the redundant interface pairs on the rear panel of the SCG and
Table 7 lists the member ports of each redundant interface pair.
