•
The configured edge ports of the two end switches of the daisy chain are connected to an
existing network
•
One of the edge switches blocks its redundancy line (prevent frame looping) and opens only
when the main line on the other edge-switch is broken. The healing time inside the O-Chain is
below 10 ms
Set Up O-Chain
Configuring O-Chain
How to configure O-Chain generally:
1. Enable the Chain Redundancy in all the switches of the daisy chain.
2. Determine the switches that shall be used as edge switches.
3. Configure at all the switches of the daisy Chain the ports that will be part of the chain.
4. In the two edge switches, additionally configure the edge port.
There is no need to change anything in the configuration of the network on which the O-Chain
switches will be attached.
