Accessing Hub Features
Configuration - Backup Links
A backup link (hubs only) configures two ports on one hub to create a
redundant connection to another device. This provides a connection with
fault-tolerant capability for highly reliable networking. One port is
designated the primary port; the second port is the backup port. The backup
port becomes active only if the primary port becomes inoperative. Any of the
network ports (twisted-pair, ThinLAN, or AUI/Xcvr) can be used as the
primary port or backup port.
