Folks,
Sorry for the slightly off-topic post. Is anyone familiar with optical
splitters that can run in a primary-backup mode in a passive way? The
intent is to provide GigE redundancy between a host and a pair of switches.
It needs to be able to switch over on a loss-of-link condition, and
preferably switch back once the primary comes online. Does such a thing
exist that runs without power? If not, is there a manageable, rackmount
solution with telco-grade reliability?
TIA,
chris
