Redundancy
7-10 Reconfiguring a Circuit
Redundancy will no longer be in effect for that circuit, and you can now
reconfigure and re-enable it.
Changing Port Status
To specify a port as the current active link:
1. On the altered Chassis View, click on the port that you wish to specify as the
active link port.
2. Select Activate to make the port the active link. The port will retain its
originally defined priority (primary or backup), but will turn green to indicate
that it is currently the active port.
The next Backup port will now be the one specified subsequently when the circuit
was defined.
To deactivate a port from active link status to inactive status:
1. On the altered Chassis View, click on the port which is the current active link.
2. Select Deactivate. The port will retain its originally defined priority (primary or
backup), but will revert to inactive status.
To remove a port from a circuit:
1. On the altered Chassis View, click on the port that you wish to remove from
the circuit.
2. Select Not used to remove the port from the circuit.
The port will now revert to its initial gray display, indicating that it is no longer
connected with the circuit; if you have removed the current active link, the next
port in the path will automatically be activated.
!
CAUTION
If you disable a circuit with no plans to re-enable it, remember that all configured backup
ports will remain disabled by management until they are manually re-enabled using the
port menus from the Chassis View window (in Logical display mode). If you do decide to
re-enable your backup ports, be sure to disconnect redundant network links before doing
so, or multiple data loops will result.
NOTE
If you deactivate the current active link, no other port in the circuit will automatically be
activated; be sure to use the port menus to activate another port in the circuit, or you will
not be allowed to re-enable the circuit.
