17-4 Configuring Ethernet 2 as a Redundant Ethernet Link for Ethernet 1
LX Series Configuration Guide
L Because only one link is active at one time, the IP
address and the MAC address are mapped to the
active link. Therefore, in a fail over condition, the
MAC address will change locations on your network.
Older switches have difficulty with this dynamic
change, and require time to age out the old MAC
address. Use some caution when doing this.
X To configure Ethernet 2 as a redundant Ethernet link
for Ethernet 1
1. Create the interface:
InReach:0 >> conf interface 3
2. Bond the Ethernet ports together:
Intf 3-3:>> bind port ethernet 1 2
3. Configure an IP address and Mask:
Intf 3-3:>> address 192.168.10.1 mask 255.255.255.0
4. Configure a Broadcast Address:
Intf 3-3:>> broadcast 192.168.10.255
There are two mechanisms by which you can detect a primary
link fault: physical link detection and logical link detection. Use
the bonding link command for physical link detection, and the
bonding link arp address and bonding link arp interval
commands for logical link detection.
You can access the bonding commands in the Interface Mode.
