Fault Tolerant Daisy Chaining

Fault Tolerant Daisy Chaining

Fault Tolerant Daisy Chaining Simplifies intelligent PDU connectivity and ensures data is reported, even with a break in the chain.

This feature, which is available starting with firmware version 2.2.1, uses Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). RSTP provides fault tolerance, automatic detection and recovery of network faults. Upon detecting a fault, RSTP automatically reconfigures the network to use an alternate path and maintain connectivity for the remaining PDUs. It also provides the ability to perform maintenance on a single PDU without disrupting monitoring of other PDUs in the chain.
