    Chapter 4: Redundancy Parallel Redundancy A NetEnforcer can operate in parallel to provide Parallel Redundancy. Parallel Redundancy requires two NetEnforcer systems and, where an external Bypass Unit is used, a single Bypass Unit. The Primary NetEnforcer handles the traffic and the Secondary NetEnforcer is designed to stand by as long as the Primary NetEnforcer is active.

After ensuring identical configuration, test each NetEnforcer (while connected to the network as a single device) and verify that they are operating identically to one another.

  • Page 71: Active Redundancy

    Chapter 4: Redundancy Active Redundancy In an Active Redundancy configuration, each NetEnforcer manages a single link while duplicating the link’s traffic to the other NetEnforcer. Both NetEnforcers are active. Each unit shapes the traffic of one link only, but the shaping algorithm considers traffic of both links.

  • Page 72: Connecting The Netenforcer In Active Redundancy

    Chapter 4: Redundancy Connecting the NetEnforcer in Active Redundancy Line 1 (and 2 in the AC-2540) is used to pass actual traffic – these interfaces will be used to connect the NetEnforcers to the corresponding switches or routers. Line 3 (and 4 in the AC-2540) is used to duplicate traffic and pass it to the second NetEnforcer.

  • Page 73: Serial Redundancy

    Chapter 4: Redundancy • The remaining interfaces of the bypass units remain unconnected. Serial Redundancy In Serial Redundancy two bypass units are connected to the network in serial and the two NetEnforcers work in Active/Bypass mode. One NetEnforcer is in active mode at all times, and the other is in bypass mode. There is no NetEnforcer is standby mode.
