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.
