High availability and redundancy
•VRRP:VirtualRouterRedundancyProtocol(requiresPremiumLicense)allowsgroupsoftworoutersto
dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments.

each with up to 8 links (ports) per trunk.

•Supportsvariousredundantpowersupplyconfigurations:
– The Switch 8206zl/5406zl provides slots for two internal supplies. This can provide 1+1 redundancy for
both PoE and system power needs.
– The Switch 8212zl/5412zl provides slots for four internal supplies. This can provide 1+1 redundancy similar
to the Switch 5406zl. You can use the internal supplies for 1+1 backup; two backing up two for both PoE
and system power needs.

management module from a Switch 5400zl series. However, when the management module is removed, all
ports will lose communication and the system will be powered down.
•RemovableRedundantManagementmodules(8200zlonly):TheManagementModulesaredesignedtobe
hot-swappable and can be removed without damage. Using the “MM Shutdown” button will gracefully shut
down the Management Module, completing any synchronization of files and state information to the second
(Standby) Management Module prior to removing the active module.

consists of multiple physical connections.
