High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) is a redundancy protocol that:
- provides short switchover time in case of failure,
- provides seamless failover against failure of any single network
component
- allows to chain nodes for cost effective networking,
- allows complex ring topology,
- is easily implemented in hardware,
- supports deterministic transmission of highest priority frames,
and
- is standardized as per IEC 62439-3 Clause 5
The following CLI commands
outline how to configure redundancy interface, redundancy / bypass
mode, different types of HSR operational
modes, LRE parameters, and how
to verify the configuration.
