4-32 Configuring IPmux-8/16 for Operation IPmux-8/16 Ver. 6.00
You can configure the WHOLE ToS byte field, since different vendors may use
different bits to tag packets for traffic prioritization. You can also configure VLAN
priority bits for level-2 priority.
Path: Main > Configuration > IP Support.

To configure IP support:
1. Follow the path above to access the IP Support menu.
2. From the IP Support menu, select IP ToS and set the IP ToS field in the IP
frames: 0–255.
Configuring Ethernet Redundancy
When IPmux-8/16 is equipped with two Ethernet modules, it supports fully
automatic switching between the Ethernet links in case of the uplink failure.
Path: Main > Configuration > Redundancy Configuration.

To configure Ethernet redundancy:
1. Follow the path above to access the Redundancy Configuration menu
(
Figure 4-20).
2. From the Redundancy Configuration menu, select the following:
 Redundancy (Controls redundancy operation)
 Enable (Ethernet redundancy is enabled, IPmux-8/16 switches to the
secondary link, if the primary link fails)
 Disable (Ethernet redundancy is disabled)
 Recovery (Controls recovery operation)
 Yes (IPmux-8/16 restores the primary link after the Wait to Restore time
is elapsed)
 No (No recovery is performed)
 Default LAN (Defines the primary Ethernet interface from which the
redundancy mechanism starts, and to which it restores)
 Ethernet 1 (Network interface of Ethernet module installed in slot 1)
 Ethernet 2 (Network interface of Ethernet module installed in slot 2)
 Wait to Restore (Defines time period after which IPmux-8/16 attempts to
switch to the primary link)
 30 Sec.
 60 Sec.
 Enforced LAN (Enforces selected Ethernet interface to remain active, even if
a failure occurs)
 Ethernet 1 (Network interface of Ethernet module installed in slot 1)
 Ethernet 2 (Network interface of Ethernet module installed in slot 2)
 Active LAN (Read-only field displaying the currently active link)
 Last Flip Caused by (Read-only field displaying the cause to the last link flip)
