Delete Removes the resilient link pair from the table
when an entry in the resilience table is selected. If
you delete an entry in the resilience table, the
current active link remains enabled and the current
standby link is cancelled.
If the main link fails, the standby link becomes active. If
the fault with the main link is solved, the standby link
stays active and the main link acts like a standby link.
You can swap the links around using management.

Using the Hub to Monitor Other Devices

Using the Hub to Monitor Other Devices
Your hub can be used to monitor other devices on
your network, and to notify an IP/IPX-based network
management application should a problem occur
with a device attached to it. The hub notifies the
IP/IPX-based network management application by
sending SNMP traps (messages) to it.
If you have a large network with many devices, this
feature allows you to distribute device monitoring
among those managed devices on your network,
easing the load on the IP/IPX-based network
management application.
This facility also allows you to monitor devices that
are otherwise not directly manageable, such as
workstations. Any device with an IP or IPX address
can be monitored.
