configuration provides high availability network access with an active link and a standby link,
and has the following characteristics:
• Dual switches or hubs are not required. However, dual switches and hubs provide a more

two switches or hubs are used, there must be a data path between them to allow them to be
on the same subnet.
• You can connect failover groups to any switch or hub.
• The link partner does not require trunking to be enabled.
