OS6350 Failover

Hi.

I have 2 OS6350 that i wish to set up in active/passive mode so that they both contain the same config, and if the active fails, tha passive takes over.
Is this possible?


Regards
Anders

Depending on which 6350 and AOS you have it supports stacking (works on 24/48 with 6.7.1R04, but not on 10 port devices or earlier software).
check the Hardware Usersguide of 6.7.1R04 for how to configure.

With stacking both switches are active (you can use all ports) you have only one config, device to manage in case of failure secondary unit takes over all "management" tasks

This is 48p switches, and I got the stacking set up.
I was just hoping that there would be a mode to the stacking that would let me have one switch in standby in case the active switch broke down.
