Section 5.28.4.2

Adding a Link Failover Backup Interface

To set a link failover backup interface, do the following:
CAUTION!
Configuration hazard – risk of connection loss. If a RUGGEDCOM APE module is installed, either
avoid configuring switch.0001 as a link failover backup interface or configure a different VLAN for the
APE module. By default, APE modules utilize VLAN 1 (switch.0001) and always keep the interface in
the UP state. This would interfere with the link failover mechanism.
To configure a different VLAN for the APE module, change the PVID for the associated switched
Ethernet port. For information, refer to
1. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
2. Add the backup interface by typing:
services link-failover interface backup backup-interface
Where:
• interface is the name of the interface
• backup-interface is the name of the secondary, backup interface
3. Configure the following parameter(s) as required:
NOTE
Do not configure the backup-gateway parameter for Point to Point (P2P) links.
NOTE
The on-demand parameter is set at the interface itself.
