5.1.4.3 Setting the Redundancy Option
If two SPIMs are installed in the NB30, Local Management allows you to
set a redundant data path that will automatically pick up communications
in the event a primary path fails. This section provides an example of a
redundancy configuration and instructions for setting redundancy
parameters in this configuration.
Figure 5-4 illustrates a sample redundancy configuration. An NB30 with
two SPIM-Ts is connected to the network. Ethernet Port 1 on the NB30 is
connected to MMAC 2 and is acting as the primary data path. Ethernet
Port 2 is connected to MMAC 1 and will be acting as the redundant data
path.
Figure 5-4 Sample Redundancy Configuration.
To set Ethernet Port 2 to act as a redundant data path:
1. Using the up arrow key, highlight the Enable Redundancy Field.
2. Press the Return key until the YES selection appears. The Enable
Redundancy field is a toggle field that alternately displays YES and
NO when you press Return.
