on the associated port, the relay will be able to detect a failure of the link, alarm, and
switch to the alternate port. The following procedure should be used to enable Link Loss
Alert on each of the the ports used in the redundant configuration.
Z Note the names of all switch ports that will require the Link Loss Alert
feature to be enabled.
In our example the port named A1 is one of the ports that will be
used in a redundant configuration, so the Link Loss Alert feature
must be enabled on this port.
