About this Manual
The “Redundancy Configuration” user manual contains all the information
you need to select a suitable redundancy procedure and configure it.
The “Installation” user manual contains a device description, safety instruc-
tions, a description of the display, and all the other information that you need
to install the device before you begin with the configuration of the device.
The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains all the information you need
to start operating the switch. It takes you step by step from the first startup
operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.
You will find detailed descriptions of how to operate the individual functions
in the “Web-based Interface” and “Command Line Interface” reference
manuals

Introduction
The Switch contains a wide variety of redundancy functions:
DRapid Spanning Tree Algorithm
DMRP-Ring
DHIPER-Ring
DRedundant coupling of HIPER-Rings and network segments
DLink Aggregation
There are three tools for operating these functions:
DWeb-based Management (supplied with the switch)
for easy configuration of the agent (see "Web-based Interface" reference
manual).
DCommand Line Interface (supplied with the Switch)
for setting basic functions (see "Command Line Interface" manual).
DHiVision Network Management
for easy configuration of all agents (see "HiVision Hirschmann Network
Management" manual).
