Recovering your XRN
Network
In the event of a failure within your XRN network, 3Com recommends that you
follow the recommendations below.
Unit Failure The steps below outline the procedure to recover your XRN network in the event
of a unit failure within your Distributed Fabric.
1 Obtain a Switch and ensure it is installed with the same software version as the
failed Switch.
2 Initialize the new Switch so it is operating with its factory default settings.
3 Connect the new Switch to the operational Switch to form the Distributed Fabric.
4 IP interfaces and VLANs will be converged between the Switches, that is, IP
interfaces and the creation of the VLANs is done automatically on the new Switch.
However, any port-based configuration must be done manually.
5 If any Switch features, for example, IGMP snooping or passwords are not set to
default state then these should be reset after the new Distributed Fabric has been
formed.
Interconnect Failure The steps below outline the procedure to recover your XRN network in the event
of an interconnect failure within your Distributed Fabric.
1 Obtain a new cable.
2 Install the new cable.
