In case of aconnectivity break – the connection switches to the standby path or standby link= Active link= Standby LinkIn those situations where the end device is a PoE device (for example, a videosurveillance camera, as shown above) a Magnum 6K switch with MNS-6K can providePoE to the end devices as well as other advantages such as IGMP, managed configurationand more. To provide the managed reliability to the end devices, dual-homing can beused with MNS-6K devices.FIGURE 99 – Dual-homing using Magnum 6K family of switches. Note the end device (video surveillancecamera) can be powered using PoE options on Magnum 6K family of switches. In case of a connectivity break– the connection switches to the standby path or standby link= Active link= Standby LinkPoEBecause it takes advantage of Ethernet standards, the dual-homing redundancy features ofthe ESD42 as well as those for MNS-6K work with any brands or models of Ethernet188
