PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

2.2.3 Operating several modes concurrently on a single virtual interface

You can operate both Fast switching mode and RIP mode concurrently via a single virtual interface. Fast switching mode is automatically selected for intra-network communications, and RIP mode for inter-network communications. A single virtual interface supports communications within the same network and between different networks.

Figure 2.25 shows the concept of Fast switching/RIP mode operation.

[Figure 2.25 Fast switching mode / RIP mode operation]

• This function is only available for Fast switching and RIP mode. Other modes such as NIC switching mode and GS/SURE linkage mode cannot use this function.
