Redundancy of the Production LAN

This section describes the production LAN redundancy that applies to the configuration of the production system.
Configuration of a redundant network or network interface requires multiple network interfaces and the optional
software for switching these interfaces.
The production LAN redundancy supported by the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series is as follows.
- Duplication of a transmission path between servers (high-speed switching method)
For details on the duplication of the transmission path between servers, see the PRIMECLUSTER-related
documents.
- Duplication between the server hub and switch on the same network (NIC switching method)
For details on duplication between the server hub and switch on the same network, see the PRIMECLUSTER-
related documents.
- Teaming with Intel PROSet
A team can be configured using Intel PROSet. For details, see the help for Intel PROSet.
- Redundancy using bonding
Linux supports redundancy using bonding.
Redundancy can be created using PRIMECLUSTER GLS (Global Link Services). For details on production LAN
redundancy using PRIMECLUSTER GLS, see the PRIMECLUSTER-related documents.
Note
There are some precautions on teaming with Intel PROSet(R). For details on the precautions, see APPENDIX G.
