Some questions on features of HP Procurve 2510

[scampsd]

Good afternoon,

I would like to know whether following situations can be handled by a HP Procurve 2510:

- Configure the switch so that when machine1 is not reachable (network), ALL traffic is automatically redirected to stand by machine machine2.
- Configure the switch so that when machine1 is reachable but a defined port is closed, ALL traffic is automatically redirected to stand by machine machine2.

I am convinced that the first will be feasible, but I have doubts concerning the second.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Dominique

Hi Dominique

The switch itself doesn't have this kind of standby capabilites. If you're for example talking about duplicating a server this way, you would configure that on the server, not on the switch.
