Ethernet Redundant Networks with NIC Teaming
Each CPU can have one or more network protocols configured for communication with the control center or other equipment
or field devices. For Ethernet network redundancy with NIC Teaming, it is necessary that two CPU Ethernet ports are
configured in a redundant pair. A set of two Ethernet ports forming a NIC Teaming pair implies a single IP address linked to
both ports. In this way, the control center needs not worry about changing the IP if there is failure in any of the ports of the NIC
Teaming pair. Each one of the Ethernet ports must be connected to different switches. If one of the ports fails, automatically
the data packets will be redirected to the other port.
This Ethernet architecture enables high availability system communication, being strongly indicated to overcome failures in the
Ethernet ports, cables and switches.
