Dual Homing
Introduction
Dual Homing is a network topology in which a device is connected to the network by way of two
independent access points (points of attachment). One access point is the primary connection,
and the other is a standby connection that is activated in the event of a failure of the primary
connection.
How Dual-Homing Works?
Assume the primary connection and secondary connections are connected to Internet by
different way. For example, primary connection is connected to a physical network but secondary
connection is connected to a wireless network. When enable dual homing feature, device will
default connect to Internet by primary connection and secondary connection will be shutdown.
If the port or all ports of primary connection are link-down, the device will replace primary
connection by secondary connection to connect to Internet. At this situation, if secondary
connection is also link-down, device will do nothing. Secondary connection only works as primary
connection disconnecting.
