CAUTION

Configurations from the scenarios below are examples that demonstrate the potential capabilities of the Astra Wireless devices. The configurations may vary depending on the model and firmware version. We do not recommend copying this solutions to the hardware without checking.

Description

It is easy to fully reserve a connection by combining two radio channels into one MINT domain. The traffic path will be automatically selected based on the quality of each radio link in this case.

Configuration Example

A management is VLAN 100 in switch group #100. A transport of user data is in switch group #1.

Configure Master 1 and Slave 1 as the main link.

Configure switch groups.

CAUTION

If you do not exclude the interface eth0 on one of the devices or do not enable STP, then there will be a loop.

The STP protocol is used to eliminate the loop In the example below.

Master 1

switch group 1 add eth0 prf0
sw group 1 stp on
switch group 1 start

Master 2

switch group 1 add eth0 prf0
sw group 1 stp on
switch group 1 start

Slave 1

switch group 1 add eth0 prf0
sw group 1 stp on
switch group 1 start

Slave 2

switch group 1 add eth0 prf0
sw group 1 stp on
switch group 1 start
