Connecting Redundant Controllers
There are several ways to design a network with redundant controllers. You can
connect up to six hosts directly to each Primary and Secondary controller. Or, if the
system requires more than six hosts, you can use Ethernet switches to increase the
network capacity.
16.1.1
Direct Connections to Up to Six Hosts
In this example, controller redundancy is achieved by connecting host units directly to
the Primary and Secondary controllers. There is no single point of failure. All six LAN
ports are used on each system controller.
