Configuring Redundant Hardware
The Avaya Multiservice switches provide a redundant backplane to
ensure that should a Supervisor module, Switch Controller, or fabric
element fail, it will continue to forward data properly. The
redundant components are available as separate options.
Redundant Switch Controllers and Elements
Controllers and Elements are located at the rear of the switches.
When the redundant controller and element are installed, the
backplane consists of the following parts (Figure 6-17or Figure 6-
18):
■ One Primary Controller
■ One Redundant Controller
■ Six Active elements
■ One Redundant element
