Network Redundancy
Setting up the Redundancy Protocol on your network helps protect critical links against failure, protects
against network loops, and keeps network downtime to a minimum.
The Redundancy Protocol allows you to set up redundant paths on the network to provide a backup data
transmission route in the event that a cable or one of the switches is inadvertently disconnected or
damaged. This is a particularly important feature for industrial applications, since it can take several
minutes to address the link down port or failed switch. For example, if a Moxa switch is used as a key
communications device for a production line, several minutes of downtime can cause a big loss in production
and revenue. Moxa switches support the following Redundancy Protocol functions:
• Spanning Tree
• Turbo Ring V2
• Turbo Chain
• Dual Homing
