Redundant Backup
The ESTeem Model 195Ea configured in Access Point Repeater
mode will automatically function as a redundant backup if two
Model 195Ea’s are installed at the same location (Figure 7). If
two Model 195Ea’s are connected to the same switch, one of the
Model 195Ea’s will be
Blocked
when the Spanning Tree
Protocol is completed. The network will continue to use this
route until any problem with the original Model 195Ea is
detected and the second Model 195Ea will begin operation at
that site.
Redundant Master Configuration
– The configuration in
Figure 7 will also provide a redundant backup for the Master
Site (Root Bridge). Configure both Model 195Ea’s as Root
Bridges (see above) giving the primary Root Bridge a value of 1
and the secondary Root Bridge a value of 2.
