Configuring a redundant link between rings
Follow the steps below to configure redundant linking of HRP rings:
1. Plan which devices of the ring adopt the role of "Standby Master" and which adopt the
role of "Standby Slave". You should also plan the ports of the standby Master and
standby slave to which the Ethernet connections to the other rings are connected.
With the factory defaults, the device with the highest MAC address adopts the role of
"standby master". If both devices support the "Force Device to Standby Master" function,
you can configure a device as the standby Master regardless of its MAC address.
Note
Make sure that the redundant Ethernet connections are not plugged in until configuration
is complete. Otherwise circulating frames will result and lead to a loss of data traffic. The
same applies to disabling the redundant link.
2. Specify a name for the standby connection and enter this both for the standby master
device and standby slave device.
Note
Make sure that the standby connection name (for one pair of devices) is used only once
in the network.
3. By selecting the relevant check box under "Enable Standby Port Monitoring", you specify
which ports are standby ports both for the standby master and the standby slave.
4. Enable the "Standby Connection enabled" option.
