Redundancy Basics: How to Build a Resilient Industrial Network (Download)

Read this article online.

In industrial environments, network downtime frequently results in costly delays, production losses, and even potential danger to employees. That's why resiliency is crucial in industrial Ethernet switching. It enables networks to withstand failures, faults, and disturbances that lead to downtime.

This article explores the basics of network resilience in industrial Ethernet switching and discusses some of the key strategies and technologies for achieving it, including how to implement network redundancy mechanisms and the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
