Standby manager
Note
Standby functionality is supported only by X-200IRT IE switches.
The standby manager mechanism allows the redundant coupling of two or more HSR rings.
To do this, two neighboring devices within a ring must be configured as standby partners.
Enable the standby manager mechanism for both standby partners and select the port via
which the module is connected to the ring you want to link to.
For the "Standby connection name", a name unique within the ring must be assigned for
both partners, This identifies the two modules as standby partners that belong together.
Modules already being used as HSR managers cannot be configured as standby partners at
the same time.
