23 Uplink Failure Detection for ToR Switch High Availability - Quick Failover Core Network With the Uplink Failure Detection option, the switch constantly monitors the port or port trunk group to the Core Network. When a failure is detected the ToR disables the preconfigured ports connected to the servers ToR Switches w/ufd support UFD reduces complexity, allowing for a loop-free topology without the requirement of running Spanning Tree Within seconds, the server NIC Teaming function becomes aware of the failure and falls back to the secondary Network Interface Card Server Active Backup A Syslog and SNMP trap are generated and sent to the Network Administrator upon failover Systems Networking BLADE Network Technologies Confidential 30-Jan-13 24
