Accessing the Redundancy Window

Figure 7-1. Redundancy Configuration Window

Figure 7-2. Chassis View in Redundancy Mode

The Redundancy Configuration window,

Figure 7-1

, allows you to add or delete a

redundant circuit for your IRM2, as well as Rename, Reset, Enable, Disable, or
reconfigure the Retry Count for any circuits you have configured.

The altered Chassis View display,

Figure 7-2

, provides the means by which you

assign primary and backup ports to each circuit.
