LAN Failsafe

This feature is another unique to Elfiq Networks’s Link Balancer complete product line and by nature, a Link Balancer is a failsafe device, ensuring that bandwidth is available at all times and manage the failover process. But what if the Link Balancer itself should lose power? 

Elfiq Networks' unique Layer-2 approach enables the installation of Link Balancers without any modification to the existing network, permitting the Elfiq device to relay traffic between the primary link (link which was installed prior to the Elfiq unit) and the network perimeter devices (firewall, HSIA gateway, etc.).

All E-Series models and the LB-3000 provide one or multiple pairs of bonded ports to transfer IP packets so normal operations can continue until the unit can be diagnosed and powered on. When the device is in LAN Failsafe mode, the Elfiq native features are unavailable.

This technology enables affordable business continuity and uptime for small businesses and branch offices that require maximum uptime and cannot afford redundant failover units, which remain the best approach for environments in which bandwidth availability and incoming services are critical.
