Port fall over for wireless Bridges

[Alex Whittaker]

Hi

i wonder if anyine can help with this question.  we have a HP 2920-24 as a core switch.  and the same at a remote site.  connecting the 2 sites is a 1gb wireless bridge and an old 300mb link that i am using as a manual backup.

What i would like to do is use something like smartlink or something like that to automatically fall over if the main link goes down.

the only issue i can think is if the PSU at site 1 blows then the fallover will go via the backup, but at site 2 the port that the bridge is connected in to will still be "live"  am i correct in thinking that this would stop information going back or are the switches inteligent enough to know that they are down.

thanks

hello

What routing protocol are you using between the 2 sites?

Thanks for your reply.

there is currently no routing at all.  they wireless jsut acts as a bridge between the 2 switches,

Can the wireless bridge be configured to disable its LAN port if its remote partner becomes unreachable?
