About this Manual
The “Redundancy Configuration User Manual” document contains the
information you require to select the suitable redundancy procedure and
configure it.
The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains the information you need to
start operating the device. It takes you step by step from the first startup
operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.
The “Installation” user manual contains a device description, safety
instructions, a description of the display, and the other information that you
need to install the device.
The “Industry Protocols” user manual describes how the device is connected
by means of a communication protocol commonly used in the industry, such
as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET IO.
The “GUI” reference manual contains detailed information on using the
graphical interface to operate the individual functions of the device.
The “Command Line Interface” Reference Manual contains detailed
information on using the Command Line Interface to operate the individual
functions of the device.

1.1 Overview of Redundancy
Topologies
To introduce redundancy onto layer 2 of a network, first clarify which network
topology you require. Depending on the network topology selected, you then
choose from the redundancy protocols that can be used with this network
topology.
The following topologies are possible:
The Ring Redundancy Protocol MRP has particular properties to offer:
You have the option of coupling to MRP-Rings other ring structures that
work with RSTP (see on page 87 “Combining RSTP and MRP”).

Ring Redundancy
Ring Redundancy procedures (HIPER-Ring, Fast
HIPER-Ring or MRP) provide shorter switching
times than RSTP.

Ring coupling
The ring coupling provides particular support
when redundantly coupling a redundant ring to
another redundant ring, or to any structure that
only works with Hirschmann devices
