Redundant Backup
The ESTeem Model 195Eg configured in Access Point Repeater
mode will automatically function as a redundant backup if two
Model 195Eg’s are installed at the same location (Figure 7). If
two Model 195Eg’s are connected to the same HUB or Switch,
one of the Model 195Eg’s will be Blocked when the Spanning
Tree Protocol is completed. The network will continue to use
this route until any problem with the original Model 195Eg is
detected and the second Model 195Eg will begin operation at
that site.
Redundant Master Configuration – The configuration in
Figure 7 will also provide a redundant backup for the Master
Site (Root Bridge). Configure both Model 195Eg’s as Root
Bridges (see above) giving the primary Root Bridge a value of 1
and the secondary Root Bridge a value of 2.
