C.4.3 Configuration to ensure reliable networks of Kernel Zones

As to a method for increasing reliability of networks of Kernel Zones, there is a method for achieving this through use of the NIC switching mode or GS/SURE linkage mode.

C.4.3.1 Network high-reliability of Kernel Zones (NIC switching mode)

The following example is for using NIC switching mode.

Figure C.8 For using NIC switching mode

Even if a transmission route fails on the primary interface, the applications on Kernel Zones will be switched over to the secondary physical interface through redundant line control, so operational continuity is never disrupted.

C.4.3.2 Network high-reliability of Kernel Zones (GS/SURE linkage mode)

The following example is for using GS/SURE linkage mode.

Figure C.9 For using GS/SURE linkage mode

Even if a transmission route fails on one of the interfaces that are bundled by the virtual interface, the route will be switched to the other one through redundant line control so that the applications on Kernel Zone can be continued.
