Cabling redundancy is very specific.
Two paths only are available between computers. These two paths are used continuously. Therefore, if one cable is pulled communication continues to go over the other path.

Checked |
Cabling redundancy is enabled. |

Default |
Cabling redundancy is clear. |
Important
If you check Enable cabling redundancy 2 IP addresses
(and only 2) are required in the
Available IP addresses box.
If there are more than two addresses, a message will display when you attempt to leave the tab telling you that:
You need to select two IP addresses in order to use cabling redundancy.
This message may also display the first time you select the Network tab if your computer has more than two available IP addresses.
