Important Considerations
■
Connect the network cable to the resilient link port after you reboot
the system.
■
In general, create links before you define your Virtual LANs (VLANs). If
you plan to create resilient links for part of a VLAN, create the resilient
links before you create the VLAN.
■
When you create a resilient link that includes ports that are part of a
VLAN, those ports are removed from the VLAN. You must modify the
VLAN and add the new bridge port to the appropriate VLAN. This
situation does not apply to the default VLAN (all ports are part of the
default VLAN).
■
If you have already defined other links or trunks on your system, you
cannot select ports that are part of an existing link or a trunk.
■
You must reboot the system at the end of the link definition process.
(You can define multiple links in one
define
operation.)
■
The resilient link port pair uses a single MAC address for frames
sourced by this pair.
■
The resilient link name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
