Protocol for device with two ethernet connections

Solved1.03K views9th August 2023Dual ethernet protocol

Hi,

We're looking to develop a driver for a device with two ethernet connections (active/active) using SNMP. If one connection is down, it still can function on the other.

Ideally it should also have parameters to indicate the status of the connections.

Is there an example of how this is done?

Hi Trong,

It sounds like you have a redundant connection, rather than connections that host separate functionality?

I believe there are multiple options:

  • Enabling redundant polling to let dataminer switch between configured interfaces: Redundant polling | DataMiner Docs
  • Monitoring the responses for timeouts, and switching the groups to the other connection: Dynamically changing a connection of a group | DataMiner Docs

The first option would be the least effort, but I'm not sure how to monitor which connection is being used, besides looking at streamviewer.
