Active-Active Redundancy
In an active-active configuration, shown in Figure 13-5, two switches provide redundancy for
each other, with both active at the same time. Each switch processes traffic on a different sub-
net. When a failure occurs, the remaining switch can process traffic on all subnets.
For a configuration example, see “Active-Active Configuration” on page 233.
