Interface Failover
Interface failover provides a backup mechanism for Ethernet adapters. When enabled, the secondary
adapter handles all network traffic if the primary adapter or its connection fails.
To enable interface failover:
Step 1 Make sure that the primary Ethernet adapter (Ethernet interface 0) is connected to the network and that
its static IP address and gateway parameters were correctly configured during system installation.
Step 2 Connect the secondary Ethernet cable (Ethernet interface 1) to a network switch. The connection port
can be on the same switch as Ethernet interface 0 or on a different switch but both Ethernet interface 0
and Ethernet interface 1 must be on the same gateway.
Step 3 From the Interface Failover window, click the Enable button, then click Apply.
Note If the Enable button is grayed out, check your network connection.
To disable interface failover:
Step 1 With no active meetings in progress, click the Disable button.
Step 2 Click Apply. Your network adapters will be configured and restarted and the interface failover disabled.
