Black Box 3-Port Industrial 10/100 Ethernet Switch Hardened Temperature

hi I'm John degan from black box I'd like to demonstrate how fast fail over an hour hearted managed Ethernet switches work by using alpha ring to provide redundancy and a failover time of less than 30 milliseconds in fact you'll see how it actually appears instantaneous alpha ring is similar to other failover protocols such as STP spanning tree protocol and our STP rapid spanning tree protocol advantages to using alpha ring over STP or our STP is the faster failover times alpha ring is easier to set up with Auto path configurations there's less cabling to buy and run in larger configurations and it does not decrease bandwidth by using test packets to find the link state first to set up the alpha ring consisting of three managed hardened switches it is as simple as going to your favorite web browser and connecting to the graphical interface on the switch by entering the IP address of the
