Providing Critical Router Backup

When continuous network equipment uptime is an absolute necessity, Router Protection Switch (RPS-24) provides that security. The RPS-24 is an intelligent protection switch targeted at providing router backup in dark or dim sites where continuous up-time is critical and rack space is at a premium. The 24-port design closely matches the number of inputs on a standard router.

These reliable switches use proven latching relay technology to ensure that connectivity is maintained even in the event of a complete power failure. The RPS-24 supports up to GigE Ethernet and is designed to automatically detect Ethernet link status. The key function of the RPS-24 is to provide one-to-one backup for routers using automatic A to B, B to A switching.

The RPS-24 monitors the link status of all active IP circuits from the router. When a problem is detected, it automatically switches the problem circuit to the backup router and issues an SNMP trap, indicating the need for engineer intervention. The RPS-24 can detect that both main and backup routers are down. In this very rare event, a port failure trap is issued indicating the critical need for engineer on site attendance.
