Adding a Link Failover Backup Interface

To set a link failover backup interface, do the following:
CAUTION!
Configuration hazard – risk of connection loss. If a RUGGEDCOM APE module is installed, either
avoid configuring switch.0001 as a link failover backup interface or configure a different VLAN for the
APE module. By default, APE modules utilize VLAN 1 (switch.0001) and always keep the interface in
the UP state. This would interfere with the link failover mechanism.
To configure a different VLAN for the APE module, change the PVID for the associated switched
Ethernet port. For information, refer to
1. Change the mode to Edit Private or Edit Exclusive.
2. Navigate to services » link-failover » {interface} » backup, where {interface} is the name of the interface.
3. Click <Add backup>. The Key Settings form appears.
