# # IEC 62439-3 High-availability Seamless Redundancy # config HSR tristate "High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR)" ---help--- If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as a DANH ("Doubly attached node implementing HSR"). For this to work, your Linux box needs (at least) two physical Ethernet interfaces, and it must be connected as a node in a ring network together with other HSR capable nodes. All Ethernet frames sent over the hsr device will be sent in both directions on the ring (over both slave ports), giving a redundant, instant fail-over network. Each HSR node in the ring acts like a bridge for HSR frames, but filters frames that have been forwarded earlier. This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0), but no compliancy tests have been made. You need to perform any and all necessary tests yourself before relying on this code in a safety critical system! If unsure, say N.
