Redundancy⁣⁣⁣ ⁣with aggregation and w/o AstraMUX

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. If you configure the aggregation of channels, you can increase the maximum throughput of the entire radio link.

Configuration Example

A management is VLAN 100 in switch group #100. A transport of user data is in switch groups #1 on the both radiochannels. Numbers of switch groups can differs, because devices is not combine in one domain MINT.

Configure Master 1 and Slave 1 as the main link.
