Hi, I have been given the task of explaining Layer 3 Ethernet switch failover to a person who knows nothing about Ethernet or TCP/IP.
I made a stab at explaining HSRP and VRRP and why avoiding the "alone, alone" scenario is a good idea etc., but lets just say, knowledge was not transferred! The problem is, if I fail to get the concept across correctly, actual lives might be lost!!! (It is going to be used in a safety related communications system) It is the job of the other person to decide if equipment X is good enough for the job or not from a safety perspective. Can anyone point me to a nice single page explanation on the web somewhere? I can then read it, and if I believe it is accurate and explains in well enough, I will pass it on.
