Port Redundancy Configuration - Avaya G450 Manual

Supported LAN deployments

Port redundancy configuration

The G450 can be deployed in the LAN using port redundancy to provide redundancy. The G450
is connected to an external LAN switch using both of the Ethernet LAN ports located on the
G450's front panel.
One of the Ethernet LAN ports is configured to be the active primary link, and the other Ethernet
LAN port is configured to be on standby (disabled). For information on configuring the Ethernet
LAN ports in a port redundancy pair, refer to
When the G450 senses a link down failure on the primary port, it automatically enables the
secondary link. Both ports need to be administratively enabled on the LAN switch peer.
