Redundant Links
The BayStack 10BASE-FL RDN Media Adapter supports
redundant links between Bay Networks BayStack Ethernet hubs,
System 5000 hubs, and other Bay Networks hubs that support
redundant links. If one fiber connection in a redundant pair
breaks, the standby link automatically takes over in less than 10
microseconds. This redundant link feature allows you to build
Ethernet dual-homing and mesh-type topologies. The port at both
ends of the fiber connection must support Bay Networks remote
signaling.
A jumper is used to set the redundant 10BASE-FL media adapter
port to operate in redundant mode with a 10BASE-FL fiber port
on another hub.
