Redundant ControlNet Media
The use of redundant ControlNet media helps to prevent a loss of
communication if a trunkline or tap is severed or disconnected. A system that
uses redundant ControlNet media uses these components:
• 1756-CN2R/B communication modules in each redundant chassis
• ControlNet modules designed for redundant media at each ControlNet
node on the network
• Redundant trunk cabling
• Redundant tap connections for each ControlNet module connected
